Don Yenko Trans Am History

[1967Z28]

Motown,

Yenko drove a Corvette along with Pedro Rodriguez (not Peter Revson) at the '68 Sebring race. Revson was under contract to AMC and was co-driving a Javelin along with Skip Scott at that '68 Sebring event. This was the first year that the Trans-Am was part of the 12-hour race (it was previously run as a separate 4-hour event) and this was also the first race for Javelin. Revson never drove in a Trans-Am race with Don Yenko. In '68 he was driving for AMC (until the last race when he switched to Ford), in '69 he drove a Boss 302 for Shelby and in '70 he was back with AMC as a second driver on the Penske Javelin team.
