Brumos Racing #59 - Hurley Haywood

Hurley Haywood has been described as a pioneer, a legend, and a one-of-a-kind driver. He has appeared in ads for upscale products such as Rolex and television productions for Porsche. Currently, he is the Vice President of Brumos Motor Cars, Inc. of Jacksonville, Florida and remains active as a professional race driver, despite stepping down from a full-time driving role in 2008. Hurley will continue to drive for Brumos in the three endurance races this season - the Rolex 24 at Daytona, the long race at Watkins Glen , and the season finale race at Miller Motorsports Park. For the short races he will work on race strategy and planning for the team. He also serves as Chief Driving Instructor for the Porsche Driving Experience as well as for Brumos U, the company sponsored driver familiarization school.

Winning the 24 Hours of Daytona five times, the 24 Hours of LeMans three times, and the 12 Hours of Sebring twice has made Haywood one of the world's most-accomplished drivers. He was the first to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the 24 Hours of Daytona in the same year. In fact, with a total of ten wins, he has won more endurance classics than anyone else in racing history. Hurley Haywood's ability to consistently be smooth and fast, coupled with his knowledge of the racecars, has put him in the winners circle time after time. His level of experience and contributions to motorsports makes him a highly valued member of the Brumos team on many levels.
