If you follow Corvette Racing, then you are familiar with the team’s “Jake” skull logo. The logo has adorned the team’s race cars since Le Mans in 2005. Since that time, it has migrated to about anything related to the racing team including Jewelry and Watches.

So how did “Jake” come into existence? It started in 2004, with one of Corvette Racing’s truck drivers, Don Male, asking the team boss, Doug Fehan, about putting a skull sticker on one of the cars. Fehan liked the idea and gave Male the go ahead. As luck would have it, the car won the race! As with all superstitions, the team was sure the skull brought them good luck and needed to stay.
