Mark Wilkins is a Canadian professional racing driver who currently drives a Daytona Prototype for AIM Autosport in the Rolex Sports Car Series. Before racing in Grand-Am, Wilkins raced in the North American Fran Am 2000 Pro Championship with a best championship position of 4th in 2004. He then moved to the Star Mazda series for two seasons with the occasional Grand-Am race. It was not until 2007 when Wilkins took part in a full season of Grand-Am when he finished fifteenth overall with no wins. 2008 was a breakthrough season for both Wilkins, co-driver Brian Frisselle and the rest of the AIM Autosport team in the championship. After four consecutive top ten finishes between rounds four and seven, their first real shot at victory was at Barber in the ninth round. With twenty minutes remaining, their car's engine failed while leading. At the very next race in Montreal, the team achieved their first race victory in one of the most chaotic final laps in history. Starting the last lap in third, Wilkins had the cars of Joey Hand and Darren Law in front of him. Coming out of turn eight, Hand's car ran out of fuel denying him and Bill Auberlen victory. [More at Wikipedia]
