Brazilian hopes to continue run at Tooele track

Brazilian race car driver Jaime Melo has a last name that fits him - half the time.
Off the track, the 27-year-old competitor in the American Le Mans Series’ GT2 class is easygoing and laid-back. Sitting in the Risi Competizione hauler on Wednesday at Miller Motorsports Park, Melo joked about a recent bicycle accident near his residence in Italy and said he might be better off “staying home and drinking Coca-Cola all day.”
Get him on the track in the No. 62 Ferrari 430GT, however, and he’s anything but mellow. Melo and teammate Mika Salo, a former Formula One driver from Helsinki, Finland, have won all four GT2 races in the ALMS series heading into Round 5 on Saturday at MMP.
