Cleanliness is Next to GodlinessThe Pratt & Miller team is absolutely fanatical about preparing its cars for on-track performance. One of the team's standard rituals involves vacuuming every inch of the C6.Rs prior to race day. Leaving nothing to chance and addressing every minute detail is a hallmark of Pratt & Miller preparation, and it's one of the many reasons why the Corvette Racing team is so formidable on the track.
