Tommy Milner, 26, of Lake Mary, Fla., joined Corvette Racing in 2011 as a full-season driver in the No. 3 Compuware Corvette C6.R. He quickly realized his potential by winning the GTE Pro class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans with co-drivers Olivier Beretta and Antonio Garcia. Milner made the pass for the lead and then completed his stint in treacherous wet conditions before handing off to Garcia for the final laps.

A second-generation racer, Milner is the son of noted team owner Tom Milner. He has competed in formula and sports car series with distinction. He has driven for factory-affiliated teams representing Panoz, Porsche, and BMW, and has competed three times in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, winning the GTE-Pro class at Le Mans in 2011 in his first appearance with Corvette Racing. He finished third in the ALMS GT driver championship in 2010 and ninth in 2011. Milner was on the podium in his first race with Corvette Racing after a third-place finish in the season-opening Sebring 12-hour race.

"When you look at sports car racing over the last 10 years, the biggest name in GT racing has to be Corvette," Milner said. "With all of the team's victories in Le Mans and the success they've had here in America, Corvette Racing has a history of winning. To have the opportunity to be a part of the Corvette program at this point in my career is very exciting. The work that the team has done gives me a lot of confidence. Everyone at Corvette Racing is looking toward our ultimate goals - winning races, winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and winning the ALMS GT championship."
