Grand-Am American Le Mans Series Merger, Day 1 - SHAKEDOWN
Leo Parente and ShakeDown look into the meaning of the Sept 5, 2012 Press Conference announcing the joining of NASCAR's Grand-Am series with IMSA's American Le Mans Series.

Both the leaders and ShakeDown call on the fans and racing experts to provide input to make this new path great. The future of North American Sports Car Racing is at stake. Respecting that his new team needs time to forge its plan, ShakeDown, with this video, takes its 'out lap' into this new G-A / ALMS world somewhat gently. But, like everything in racing, time will tell the difference. And the clock is ticking to Daytona24, January 2014.
