Now they look forward to 2012 with new driver pairings for both the number-10 and number-12 Infinity Audio Forte Koups.

In 2012 Grand-Am Continental Tire Sports Car Championship KIa will have Andy Lally and Nic Jönsson to lead the way. Lally returns to the Kia Racing program fresh off his 2011 Sonoco Sprint Cup Rookie of the Year performance, reuniting with ST Driver Champion Jönsson.
