Following an illustrious 12-year career at the top levels of open-wheel competition, Adrian Fernandez launched a new chapter in his 26-year professional racing dossier two years ago when he partnererd with Lowe's -- the world's second-largest home improvement retailer -- to enter sports car competition under the Lowe's Fernandez Racing banner.

An established winner in sports car competition, Luis Diaz brought his talents to Lowe's Fernandez Racing last season joining long-time hero and friend Adrian Fernandez in the team's ALMS debut. It was a natural progression for the former open-wheel rising star, who entered the sports car ranks in 2004 and claimed eight wins in three years of Grand-Am competition.
