Team bio:
Finlay Motorsports made their racing debut in 2005 in Grand Am competition. Led my Robert Finlay, the team has established itself by recruiting many years of racing experience in their staff. This enabled them to compete successfully in their debut season, by taking a well deserved victory to go with their other two podium finishes of the year. 2005 and 2006 was run as a one car effort with an occasional run by a second car. 2007 is expected to be the same.
