Yesterday we heard some rumblings that the merged version of America's two sports car racing series would be called "United SportsCar Racing." Guess what? It's now official. Hooray?

Last year, it was announced that both sports car racing organizations in the USA would combine to form one series in 2014. But since that time, Grand-Am and the ALMS have not issued a new name. They are announcing it tomorrow, but it may have been leaked early. Could it be called "United Sportscar Racing?"

Ride along with Eric Curran inside the #31 Whelen Motorsports / Team Fox Corvette at Circuit of the Americas in preparation for the inaugural Grand Am of the Americas, taking place tomorrow.

I had the opportunity in late January to shadow Matt Bell during the Grand-Am Rolex 24 at Daytona. Bell, who has been racing Continental Challenge since 2008, is dual-driving this season, splitting his weekends between the #9 Stevenson Motorsports Camaro GS.R and the #51 APR Motorsports Audi R8 LMS/Grand-Am.

While the multi-class merger between America's top two GT racing series was making our heads spin, the cars were whipping around the track in the shakedown for the 2013 Grand Am season and looking absolutely amazing.

Multi-class sports car racing is already incredibly confusing. Many of the cars look the same and are only differentiated by varying tire compounds and engine specs.

This Grand-Am season had its final race last weekend and while some people came first, we all lost. The tube-framed, flame-spitting, rotary powered Mazda RX-8s are dead. RIP.

GT cars and Daytona Prototypes descended on the Best Coast's standout track, Laguna Seca. Prepare yourself for some wholly gratuitous Corkscrew action.

Yo dawg, we heard you like details. On this week's Shakedown, Leo Parente lays out the Grand-ALMS-AM deal in detail, suggesting the success of joining of NASCAR's Grand-Am series with IMSA's American Le Mans Series will be in the details.

We enjoy the sports car racing and famous battles in Grand Am but tend to prefer the field and races of the American Le Mans Series and never watch enough of either because of unfortunate scheduling, thus it is with pure joy and an extreme erection that we greet the exclusive news from SPEED that the two are merging…
