One of the cars that we tested at the '08 KIT CAR Performance Day was this awesome Factory Five Racing Type 65 Daytona Coupe.

The '64 Daytona Coupe with the following serial number, CSX 2299, won the GT III category at the prestigious "24 Hours of Le Mans" in 1964. Like this Factory Five Racing Type 65 Daytona Coupe, it wore the number 5 in its meatballs. Unlike this replica, the GT III winning Type 65 was Painted in 'viking blue' metallic, not midnight blue.

To win the KIT CAR Performance Day T-shirt for this week, identify the two famous racecar drivers that teamed up to race CSX 2299 to the GT III category first place. We'll even give you a hint: Both of these drivers were born in the United States of America.
