MONTEREY, Calif. Racing legends Jeff Gordon, Mark Martin, Bill Elliott, Ken Schrader, Bobby Labonte, Danny Sullivan and Scott Pruett will compete in the IROC race group during the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion Aug. 13-16 at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca.

Ray Evernham, co-owner of IROC and former crew chief for Jeff Gordon from 1993 to 1999, is eager to reunite the cars with many of their original drivers at the legendary Laguna Seca road course.

I think this is the first time several of these drivers, including Jeff Gordon, have raced at Laguna Seca, and to do so during the renowned Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion is something I know they will enjoy, said Evernham. Im also excited to give fans the opportunity to get up close and personal with our drivers and the incredible group of IROC cars that will be on display.

Two drivers who may have a leg up with their extensive experience racing at Laguna Seca is McLaren Racings CEO Zak Brown and Friends of Laguna Seca Vice President Bruce Canepa. Brown recently acquired the 1977 Chevrolet IROC Camaro that was originally driven by Cale Yarborough, Darrell Waltrip, Alan Jones, Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman, James Brolin and Paul Newman.

Canepa will be driving a Dodge Avenger formerly driven by Dale Earnhardt, George Follmer, Emerson Fittipaldi, Richard Petty and various other motorsports icons.

Im so pumped that theyre bringing back the iconic IROC series, when we used to be able to answer the question of who was the best of the best. Cant wait to get it out on the track, Brown posted on social media.
