Hyper Sport is hopeful of growing a successful KONI Challenge campaign into full-time Rolex Series competition. In addition to the No. 54 Hyper Sport Mustang piloted in the GS class by Dempsey and Skelton, the team fields the No. 55, which is currently second in team points in the KONI Challenge series with two races to go.  The No. 55 recorded a win this season at Mosport and has recorded two runner-up finishes.

Fitz Motorsports is currently ninth in the owner points championship in the Busch Series.  The team has seven top-10 finishes in 2007, including a second-place finish and a pole award.
