Wilson Takes First Laps At Daytona

“Now that I have my IMSA license, I’m officially a two-sport athlete,” said Major League Baseball star C.J. Wilson, who took his first laps in a professional race car on Saturday. Wilson was at the wheel of his new CJ Wilson Racing Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport that will compete in the Grand Sport (GS) class.
