SEBRING, Florida – The Tim Bell Racing 370Z NISMO was the fastest Nissan in yesterday’s final practice before today’s Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge (CTSC) qualifying session. Driver Dane Cameron had a fast lap of 2:17.613 – good for fourth fastest around the 3.74 mile Sebring International Raceway in Florida. Qualifying begins Thursday, March 13 at 12:55 p.m. ET.

The Charlotte-based TBR team is preparing for only its second race in the Nissan. Team owner Tim Bell and Cameron will co-drive the #28 370Z NISMO in the 2.5 hour CTSC race at 1:00 p.m. ET on Friday, March 14.

"Sebring is one of the old-school circuits where if you make a mistake, there isn't tens of miles of runoff. There's grass and then there's tire barriers and concrete barriers as well,” said the 22-year old Englishman. “It has surfaces and elements I’ve never seen before, so there is a lot to learn. There's more than 60 cars entered for the race so I think it's going to be really busy and exciting.”

Five Nissans – three 370Z NISMOs and two Altima 3.5s – will compete in the CTSC race. The race will be covered live on Fox Sports 1 and replayed at 7:30 p.m. ET on Fox Sports 2.

Qualifying for the Sebring 12-hour will begin at 4:10 p.m. EDT Friday, March 14. The Mobil 1 12 Hours of Sebring race will start at 10:15 a.m. EDT Saturday, March 15. Live television coverage will begin with the first three hours at 10:00 a.m. on Fox Sports 1. The remainder of the race can be streamed on IMSA.com. A race highlight show will air on Fox Sports 1 at 8:30 a.m. EDT on Sunday, March 16.
