Based in Ormond Beach, Florida, BGB Motorsports has been fielding sports cars for entry in the Grand American Road Racing Association’s Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge Series (formerly known as the Koni Sports Car Challenge Series prior to 2010 and Grand-Am Cup prior to 2007). The team's facility is located less than 20 miles from Daytona International Speedway and the headquarters for the Grand-Am series. BGB operates as a customer oriented business, building, developing and supporting cars under the Grand American Road Racing, Sports Car Club of America and Porsche Club of America sanctioning bodies. While the team chose to sit out most of the 2009 season, for 2007 and 2008, BGB fielded the highest finishing Porsche entry in the Grand-Am Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge Series Team and Driver’s Championships.
BGB was founded in late 2001 with the purpose of entering into Grand-Am Cup competition. First in partnership with Team Spartanburg Racing, then running as Duane Neyer Motorsports and now involved directly, BGB owned cars have won 7 Koni Challenge Series races, visited the podium 13 times and finished in the top-10 53 times since their first year of full competition. Prior to 2009 and since 2006, BGB season-long Porsche entries have taken the green flag 66 times, with the team's supporting 2 and sometimes 3 vehicles during a race weekend. The string of consistent finishes and lack of mechanical DNFs comes with only 5 failed attempts at finishing races; all 5 were the result of contact with other competitors.
The team’s involvement with the Porsche chassis began prior to the 2004 season when the Grand-Am series chose to reduce the format from four classes down to two. From 2004 thru 2006, the existing Grand-Am Continental Tire spec Porsche offering from the dealership was the 996 Carrera 2 chassis. When Porsche improved their platform, BGB followed suit and in the end of 2006 the team purchased the current generation 911, or 997, which they’ve run since then. Just prior to this BGB's Porsche program gained momentum at the end of the 2006 season when Tim Traver and Mikel Miller won the 6 hour season finale at Virginia International Raceway, securing the manufacturers trophy for Porsche Cars North America.
During 2007, BGB Motorsports finished 3rd in the Koni Challenge Team Championship, fourteen points out of 1st place. BGB Porsche driver Craig Stanton finished 3rd in the Driver’s Championship with mid-season arrival Hugh Plumb finishing in 5th. Plumb and Stanton joined together to finish in the top-10 seven consecutive times in seven attempts. The pair visited the podium during all 3 final races in 2007.
For 2008 Koni Challenge Series competition, BGB Porsches won 3 races, and the #83 Porsche sponsored by Weeden Consultants finished 4th in the Team Championship with BGB drivers Craig Stanton and Jon Miller taking 4th place and 5th places in the Driver’s Championships. While the team was unable to improve on last year’s 3rd place finish in the Team and Driver’s Championship, they were a threat to the 2008 championship during every single race, up until the final moments of the 2008 season. BGB Porsches won 3 races during 2008, more than any other single team in competition.
Due to the economic woes of 2009 and the team's inability to find season-long commitments, BGB made the decision to sit out the 2009 season. Some late-season interest returned the team to the paddock for the final 4 races of competition with their supporting a pair of 911s: Kris Wilson of Golden, Colorado and David Riddle of Vancouver, BC, Canada ran together in a BGB prepared 997 sponsored by C-Max Racing while motorcycle road racing star Scott Russell of Conyers, GA joined road racing standout Guy Cosmo of West Palm Beach, FL.
For the 2010 season BGB Motorsports returns to Grand-Am competition with a pair of race prepared Porsche Cayman S cars that they completed in the off-season, in addition to their race winning, familiar orange 911 Carrera. Grand-Am's recent inclusion of the Cayman S platform into the 2010 rules has created a resurgence of interest in Porsche street stock racing, specifically at the Continental Tire Series level. This past January at Daytona the team supported the first ever Cayman race cars to be raced professionally in North America. In his first event with BGB Motorsports, Steve Jenkins qualified his #38 BRM Watches Cayman in front of all other Porsches in the field; to conclude the event teammates Keith Carroll and Duncan Ende finished 12th as the 2nd highest finishing Porsche. It's the team's intention to develop the Cayman platform into a race winning package, just as they did with the current generation 911.
