    There you go! They have a few small sponsors, like free tires from Michelin tires, Hurst, and Mobile 1.
    Is he allowed to use one in the series he runs?

    No they are not but he also said it wouldn't help him as much as the lip spoiler that they use now. Pretty much it would be overkill.

    A corvette can get up QUICK in speed and a proper wing would DEFINITELY help. No if and or buts about it.

    That is what I said indirectly, yes a proper wing would help out the car. A wing that is overkill, would not help as much.

    A Gurney flap is not always a substitute for a wing and has different purposes, some use both and many wings on road race cars feature a Gurney flap on it...
