Michael Valiante will be behind the wheel of a Corvette Daytona Prototype for 8Star Motorsports at the Diamond Cellar Classic at Mid-Ohio on June 14-15.
Valiante will partner with Pedro Lamy in the No. 3 entry, as full-season driver Stephane Sarrazin will be unavailable due to his duties at the 24 Hours of Le Mans with Toyota.
Valiante, along with Brazilian ace Rafa Matos both got their first taste of 8Star's Corvette DP in a test at Sebring earlier this week. Matos heads to Mid-Ohio as the defending race winner, having scored top honors last year in a Spirit of Daytona Corvette with Ricard Westbroook.
This weekend, Valiante will race for Michael Shanks Racing at the Rolex Series Chevrolet Grand-Am 200 in Detroit.
