Late 1960 Lola T70 Mk3B

Lola T70 Mk 3B. ex Penske /Donahue.  The No. 6 Lola-Chevrolet T70 Mk3B was fielded by legendary car owner Roger Penske, and driven to victory in the 1969 race by Americans Mark Donohue and Chuck Parsons. The victory was the first for Penske at Daytona International Speedway and the first for Chevrolet in an international endurance race. Race strategy was essential to Donohue and Parsons’s 1969 victory. Penske believed attrition would prove key to victory and directed his drivers to run a conservative pace. Despite the No. 6 Lola T70 experiencing a wide-range of problems, Penske’s drivers were the last men standing when accidents and mechanical failures took out the pre-race favorites. Even after spending more than two hours in the pits over 31 stops, the No. 6 Lola T70 won by a margin of 30 laps, covering a grand total of 626 laps, 2,382.63 miles
