Defending Grand-Am Rolex 24 At Daytona winner Chip Ganassi Racing has announced a two-car effort for the Rolex Sports Car Series’ 46th running of the event. The eight drivers competing for the organization include 2008 NASCAR Sprint Cup competitors Juan Pablo Montoya and Dario Franchitti.
Montoya, Franchitti, Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas will unite for the twice-round-the-clock classic to form the driver lineup in the No. 01 Daytona Prototype, while IndyCar drivers Scott Dixon and Dan Wheldon join Salvador Duran and Alex Lloyd in the No. 02 entry.

I’ll definitely be watching and rooting for the Ganassi teams, I hope the finish is exciting!!
I’ll be excited to see how the Ganassi drivers perform, but then again they’ve got the world by the tail when it comes to the Rolex 24, I hope the finish is exciting!! Go Montoya/Franchitti!! That combination is going to be hard to beat. Not to throw Pruett from the train either, he’s a proven winner in these endurance events.
This is a lil off topic, but has anybody heard anything about how much of this race will be on SPEED/Fox? Personally I think they should show all 24 hours of it (along with the full LeMans Race) but we all know SPEED is to lazy to do that.. l0l
Hmm…franchitti, montoya, and spuett all in the same entry.
Unless that car has a mechanical issue, we already know who won the race.
Don’t Montoya and Pruett not get along? l0l
