The International Race of Champions (IROC) series was a unique and prestigious motorsport competition that ran for several decades, aiming to bring together the best drivers from various racing disciplines to compete in identically-prepared cars at some of the world’s most legendary race tracks.
 

The IROC series was founded in 1973 by Roger Penske, Les Richter, and Mike Phelps. The idea was to create a championship that featured top drivers from different racing disciplines, such as NASCAR, IndyCar, Formula 1, and sports car racing. The goal was to determine the "champion of champions" by placing competitors in identical race cars.

IROC is remembered as a unique and prestigious series that brought together some of the greatest drivers in motorsport. The concept of identifying the "champion of champions" remains a memorable aspect of racing history.

The Dodge Avengers were debuted in IROC competition for the 1994 season and were only used for two years. Many of the Avengers that competed as Avengers began life as a Gen 3 IROC Camaro in 1984 then would later be rebodied to Dodge Daytonas before receiving their Avenger body work. All of the chassis that were campaigned as Avengers would be retired after the 1995 season to make way for the new Laughlin Racing Products chassis sporting Pontiac Firebird bodies.

​

BP 9310R is a particularly strong example of the way IROC extended the life of its purpose-built cars across changing manufacturer programs. Beginning as the light-pink BP 8744 Chevrolet Camaro Gen 3, the same Banjo Matthews tube-frame car was successively rebodied as a Dodge Daytona and a Dodge Avenger before appearing in the registry under the later BP 9310R designation. Its physical continuity across all three body styles makes the car a compact history of IROC's late-Camaro and Dodge eras.

​

The documented competition record covers eight seasons, from IROC XII in 1988 through IROC XIX in 1995. Across 20 recorded starts, BP 9310R earned three victories, three second-place finishes, eight top-five results, and 18 top-ten results. Its wins came with Rusty Wallace at Watkins Glen in 1991, Dale Earnhardt at Daytona in 1995, and Mark Martin at Darlington in 1995.

​

Fifteen champions and leading drivers from NASCAR, Indy car, sports-car, and sprint-car competition are documented in the car: Terry Labonte, Scott Pruett, A. J. Foyt, Dale Earnhardt, Bobby Rahal, Danny Sullivan, Dorsey Schroeder, Al Unser Jr., Rusty Wallace, Arie Luyendyk, Al Unser Sr., Geoff Brabham, Steve Kinser, Mark Martin, and Ken Schrader. That roster, together with successful appearances on superspeedways, short ovals, and a road course, reflects the central IROC purpose of placing elite drivers in closely matched equipment.

​

The car's current aqua #4 Ken Schrader Avenger presentation also preserves its final IROC-era identity. Rather than representing a recreated shell without competition history, it remains the same registry car whose documented service began as a Camaro, continued as a Daytona, and concluded as an Avenger.
