Beretta and Gavin, who retained their GT1 drivers championship, were second-team selections last year, and their performance in 2006 more than warranted repeat honors in Road Racing. They won four times last season against stout competition not just from their Corvette Racing teammates Johnny O’Connell and Ron Fellows but against the two-car team from Aston Martin Racing. Gavin and Beretta also won the 24 Hours of Le Mans for the third straight year with Jan Magnussen.

Beretta is the winningest driver in Series history with 28 class wins – the most among the 679 drivers who have competed in the Series – and its only four-time class champion. He also is the Series’ career leader in pole positions (18) and fastest race laps (20). Gavin has been nearly as prolific as his teammate. In the past three seasons he has won 14 times with six GT1 poles and 12 fastest race laps in class.This year’s All-America team will be honored at the organization’s annual banquet on Jan. 13, 2007 at the Hyatt Regency in Indianapolis.Â
