Two NASCAR veterans well known for road racing accomplishments – Wally Dallenbach Jr. and Boris Said – have filed entries for Sportscar Vintage Racing Association’s (SVRA) Vintage Race of Champions (VROC) Charity Pro-Am presented by Chopard Watch on Saturday, Aug. 3 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS). The VROC Pro-Am race is part of the sixth SVRA Brickyard Vintage Racing Invitational, now a classic on the American vintage racing calendar. Said amassed many accomplishments at the start of his career, when he won SCCA Rookie of the Year in 1987. He was national Runoffs champion three times, in 1989, ’90 and ’91. It wasn’t long before he asserted his prominence in sports car racing with GT class wins in the Rolex 24 At Daytona in 1997 and 1998, as well as the 12 Hours of Sebring also in 1998. In 2004, Said was crowned the Rolex Sports Car Series GT champion and followed that by becoming the first American to score a 24 Hours of Nurburgring victory in 2005. His prowess as a road racer attracted the attention of NASCAR teams, and by 1995 he began racing in the Truck series, in which he scored a victory at Sonoma in 1998. He raced in all three major NASCAR series, scoring eight top-10s and two poles in Cup competition, a win in the 2010 Montreal round of the Xfinity series, along with nine top-10s and three poles in Trucks. A versatile talent, Said has also competed in the Australian V8 Supercar series and even the X Games in 2007 and 2015. Dallenbach launched his professional racing career in the Trans Am series in 1984. He was immediately successful, winning the Rookie of the Year title. The following year he won the championship for Jack Roush’s Mercury Capri team to make him, at 22, the series’ youngest champion. Dallenbach repeated as champion again in 1986 for the Protofab Camaro team. Other outstanding accomplishments include four class wins in the Rolex 24 At Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring. Dallenbach began an 11-year NASCAR Cup career in 1991; scoring 23 top-10s – two coming in the Daytona 500 - in 226 races. In addition to NASCAR Cup and Trans Am, the versatile Dallenbach has competed in NASCAR Truck, Xfinity, IndyCar, IMSA Camel GT and has won in the open-wheel division at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. He extended his career by becoming a motorsports commentator for TNT and NBC. Dallenbach has also served as a chief steward with the Trans Am Series Presented by Pirelli. In addition to Dallenbach, there are seven other drivers in the VROC field with IROC experience on their resumes. These include Johnny Rutherford, Bobby Labonte, Geoff Brabham, Davy Jones, Roberto Guerrero, Johnny Benson, and Mark Dismore. The VROC Charity Pro-Am presented by Chopard Watch is a Saturday, Aug. 3 feature event at the Brickyard Vintage Racing Invitational. The cars are 1963 to 1972 vintage Corvettes, Camaros, and Mustangs of SVRA “Group 6” A and B Production. The professionals will be paired with amateur drivers. Amateurs will start the race and be required to drive a maximum of seven laps. The Brickyard Vintage Racing Invitational VROC Charity Pro-Am will benefit the Morgan Adams Foundation. The foundation supports laboratory and clinical research for pediatric cancer, with an emphasis on tumors on the brain, spine and central nervous system. In addition to the Pro-Am, there will be a festival of other activities at the Brickyard Vintage Racing Invitational, including professional Trans Am by Pirelli series races Saturday and Sunday. The weekend also presents the Hagerty Insurance “cars & caffeine” car corral, and 300-plus vintage racers ranging over 100 years of automotive history racing in SVRA Groups 1 through 12. Fans can order Brickyard Vintage Racing Invitational tickets for either or both days of the event online through the Speedway or by calling 800-822-INDY or 317-492-6700 between 9 a.m.-5 p.m. (ET) Monday through Friday.
