A Weekend of Legends
J.C. France, grandson of NASCAR founder Bill France Sr., captured the checkered flag at the Le Mans Classic, piloting a 2014 Chevrolet Camaro that roared through the historic circuit.
The race was far from a quiet tribute; several incidents unfolded, most notably a severe collision involving Gary Moore and Robin Haas that left spectators on edge.
Adding to the spectacle, Andrew Jordan led late in a 2013 Toyota Camry, while Dave Roberts battled in a 2012 Dodge Charger, and NASCAR Hall of Famer Kurt Busch handled a 2020 Monster Energy Chevrolet Camaro.
Other notable entries included Nigel Armstrong in a 2007 Menards Toyota Camry, Ryan Gemmell in a 2002 Perrier Chevrolet Monte Carlo, and Frank Kimmel and Jean Girard sharing the track in historic machinery.
The event’s organizer, HSR, confirmed that additional races are slated for Sunday, promising more high‑speed action for fans of vintage motorsport.
The Le Mans Classic, held in Le Mans, France, continues to blend heritage racing with modern excitement, drawing enthusiasts from across the globe.
