Team Overview

Owner Bob Stallings founded the team after he won the 2004 SCCA Formula Atlantic National Championship. His dream was to field a top-level Daytona Prototype, and to make his dream a reality he hired top personnel from around the world of motorsports, including driver Alex Gurney and engineer Kyle Brannan – both of whom honed their skills in the hotly contested Toyota Atlantic Championship. Gurney set fast lap in the team’s first-ever Rolex Series practice day at the team’s Laguna Seca – putting the Grand-Am world on notice that the 99 was for real.

In 2006, the team’s first full season, Gurney and another Toyota Atlantic standout, Jon Fogarty, showed repeated strength with more podiums, a pole and a sixth-place finish in the season championship. In its 2007 campaign, the team is aiming to settle for nothing less than the Daytona Prototype title. The No. 99 GAINSCO Auto Insurance Pontiac-powered Riley is contesting the full Rolex Series schedule with Gurney and Fogarty at the wheel, and 1996 Champ Car champion Jimmy Vasser will return to the team at selected endurance events, including the Rolex 24 At Daytona.

At the 2007 Rolex 24, Gurney took his fourth career pole position, before suffering from bad luck early on that eventually forced the team’s retirement. But just one race later, Gurney and Fogarty wrote the GAINSCO team into the recordbooks in Mexico City, recording the team’s first-ever Rolex Sports Car Series victory in thrilling fashion. Now, the team is setting its sights on a championship trophy.
