Juan Pablo Montoya, Dario Franchitti, Scott Pruett, and Memo Rojas capture the third consecutive Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona for Chip Ganassi Racing.
"Everybody on the team ... knows what they're capable of doing and achieving and it's just a matter of giving them the right tools to do it," said a victorious Chip Ganassi.
Pruett has now been involved in three Rolex 24 victories. Montoya was instrumental in last year's triumph as well. This is the first victory for Franchitti and Rojas.
Unfortunately, none of the Rolex 24 at Daytona victories translated into NASCAR Sprint Cup victories.
Kenny Wallace has signed with Fitz Racing to drive a second car for the Nationwide Series team. Wallace joins veteran Mike Bliss on the Fitz Racing driving roster.
