Lowe's Fernandez Racing joined the American Le Mans series in 2007 and have been a member of the Acura LMP2 program since its inception. They however did not run the Acura chassis as Andretti-Green and Highcroft Racing did. Fernandez was in charge of engine development for the program, and to create parity between the other teams, ran an LMP2 Lola chassis.
2008
For 2008 though, the team has acquired the third Acura ARX-01B chassis and has plans to run it for the full season in the ALMS. As per 2007, Adrian Fernandez and Luis Diaz are tasked with driving the car for the entire season, with Michel Jourdain Jr. joining the pair for Petit Le Mans and Laguna Seca.

Nice start to the blog you've got going on here, Mike!
What chassis is next?

I'm thinking I'm just gonna go in alphabetical order, so the Aston Martin DBR9 will be next. I may have to do several chassis per day though.
Mike, I assume 03 does not have a Courage chassis. But where was the chassis made? and by whom?
