Mike Skeen: 2010 GRM UTCC Dodge Challenger cockpit view

Here is the morning warm up session at the 2010 Pirelli Ultimate Track Car Challenge presented by Grassroots Motorsports at VIR. This 2010 Dodge Challenger built by Chip Ganassi Racing ran very strong in the warm up, but had an issue that kept it from running any of the timed sessions during the day. Thanks to Zenith Aviation and Bob Stanford for giving me the opportunity to drive the car--look for it again at future events. GoPro HD

LOVE the soundtrack, Mike :) NASCAR (the top 2 series) should adopt a formula as close to this as possible LLLLoLL!

I am EXTREMELY curious about this car! I saw it in the November of Grassroots Motorsports, and at a first glance I thought it was a Nationwide car, but upon further comparison between this car and Nationwide Challengers, it seems like yours is very much closer dimensionally to the street Challenger than the Nationwide car is! Why hasn't NASCAR picked up on this? Will this be a new trend in Trans-Am (one that I would desperately love to see)? Where can I find more info on the car?

@mattftoo Is this the fastest car you've driven at VIR?

Looks to me like a cup car but built for road only. It also looks like it has a Nationwide Challenger body. Whatever it is, it sounds sweet as all hell :). Seems like your the Ken Schrader of the road course world hehehe keep posting these awesome vids Mike.
