Brumos Porsche 250 Wiki Information
The Paul Revere 250
, also known as the Brumos Porsche 250
, is a 250-mile sports car race support race held on the road course at Daytona International Speedway the weekend of the Coke Zero 400. It has been held off-and-on over the history of that event, either the same night, or a couple days before. The traditional date meant the race was usually held late at night, and finishes in the early morning hours of the next day. The theme of the race is based on the famous "Midnight Ride" of Revolutionary War patriot Paul Revere.
From 1967-1968, the race was sanctioned by the SCCA. From 1969-1972, it was held as part of the NASCAR Grand American tour. Starting in 1973, it became part of the IMSA circuit, and continued through 1983. In 1984, it switched to an SCCA Trans Am event for one season. For 1985-1986, it was a motorcycle race, the it was discontinued.
In 2000, the event was revived by the Grand Am series. The tradition of starting late at night, however, was discontinued and replaced with racing the event as a Thursday or Friday night event after qualifying for final practice for the NASCAR feature. In 2009, the race as moved to Saturday afternoon as part of the Grand Am-Sprint Cup doubleheader.
