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. Stepping down from a full-time driving role in 2008, Hurley continued to drive for Brumos in 2008 and 2009's endurance races before retiring following the 2010 Rolex 24 at Daytona. For the rest of the 2010 season he will continue to travel with Brumos Racing and 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, put him in the winners circle time after time. The 2009 season opener Rolex 24 at Daytona found Haywood back in a familiar place on the podium, as he co-drove the Brumos #59 car to a third place finish. He then ended that season co-driving to a victory at the Homestead finale race. His level of experience and contributions to motorsports makes him a highly valued member of the Brumos team on all levels.
