DAYTONA BEACH, FL (23 December 2019) \u2013 Gary Ferrera and Kris Wilson will be looking to improve on last year\u2019s runner-up finish when they return to Daytona International Speedway for the 2020 IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge season opener on Friday, January 24.\u00a0 Ferrera and Wilson will co-drive the Automatic Racing No. 99 Invisible Glass Aston Martin Vantage GT4 in the four-hour BMW Endurance Challenge to launch their 2020 IMSA campaign.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Aston Martin Vantage GT4 platform is\u00a0 an updated version of the car they raced in 2019.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Running fourth with two laps remaining in last years race, Wilson improved a position on each of the following laps, coming up six seconds shy of victory at the checkered flag.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re looking to one-up last year,\u201d Wilson said. \u201cGary and I are looking to getting back in action at Daytona, where we enjoyed our best success last season. We\u2019re hoping that our new Invisible Glass Aston will be a little better, and Gary and I are looking forward to a strong start for the new year. We\u2019re excited to be back with Invisible Glass and Automatic Racing, and hope to be at the top of the podium a few times.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The two drivers went on to compete in five events in 2019, finishing 11th<\/sup>\u00a0at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca.<\/div>\n
Automatic Racing first debuted the all-new Aston Martin GT4 with the Stoner Car Care-liveried No. 97 entry of Rob Ecklin Jr. and Ramin Abdolvahabi at Sebring and will head into 2020 with a duo of the latest-specification Aston Martin GT4 machines.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThe combination of Kris and Gary is a great one and I\u2019m thrilled to have them back in the Invisible Glass Aston Martin this year,\u201d said Automatic Racing team principal David Russell. \u201cThey had a big day at Daytona last year of course and hopefully we can get the \u201c99\u201d off to another<\/div>\n

strong start to the year. We are finalizing our plans for the Stoner Car Car Aston Martin as well and will get that announced as soon as everything is finalized. After we started the season on the podium at Daytona and then closing out the year with the pole at Road Atlanta, the entire team is energized and excited to have some experience with this new Aston Martin to build on this year.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The two-car squad will continue to represent Stoner Car Care as the Florida-based organization anticipates a variety of driver line ups through the 2020 IMSA season.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re hoping to run at least seven of the 10 races this year, but it all depends on Gary\u2019s schedule,\u201d Wilson said. \u201cHe\u2019s very busy running his company, and he has to concentrate on his job in addition to racing.\u201d<\/div>\n
Ferrera and Wilson will have their first weekend in the new No. 99 Invisible Glass Aston Martin Vantage GT4 in the Roar Before the Rolex 24, a three-day test at Daytona International Speedway on January 3-5.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
