I'm not sure where this exactly fits in the landscape of American road racing, but I think it's pretty exciting. It would be great to see an American Make join the ranks...But Seeing Audi/ MBZ and BMW DTM cars in North America is an awesome prospect...

************ Article

It's official: GRAND-AM and NASCAR will partner on a US-based DTM championship starting in 2013.

The 12-race US-based championship for the extreme DTM cars will begin in 2013 -- one year after GRAND-AM's flagship Daytona Prototype class undergoes a serious remodeling project -- that will serve as a sprint racing support show for GRAND-AM, NASCAR Sprint Cup and the NASCAR Nationwide Series.

“Only days after BMW officially announced its commitment to the DTM from 2012, this is more good news concerning the future of the DTM”, said Hans Werner Aufrecht, chairman of the ITR group that runs the DTM.

“Internationalisation has been our goal, in order to ensure that cars to DTM regulations can be used in more countries all over the world. We have had very constructive talks with the GRAND-AM organisation and we are very excited with this new partnership.”
