IMSA: Brumos dealerships sold, name and racing fleet retained

Brumos Automotive, including the renowned Brumos Porsche dealership, has been sold. The Jacksonville, Fla.-based company has been purchased by Field Automotive of Florida, which will take possession of the seven Brumos dealerships owned by Dan Davis once the sale is complete early in 2016. Of interested to racing fans, the sale does not include the extensive inventory of Brumos Racing vintage racecars, or the Brumos name, according to Hurley Haywood.

"Dan was comfortable selling to the Field group because they have similar ethics, and the Field group will go on and not disrupt all of our great management and staff in the dealerships," the legendary driver and Brumos VP told RACER. "And as far as Brumos goes, Dan has retained the rights to Brumos, so he will continue to hold that name. Whether you'll see us in racing...I doubt it. He's over that, and I'm too old to continue racing, but we wanted to protect that name so it didn't show up at some used-car dealership...

"We'll still have the museum with the cars in it for the next two years, and by that time, we should find a new space for those cars and all the major cars will stay with Dan."
