Engines Ready?

Hello and welcome to the Racing4Research Live Blog from the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona. We're about a half an hour away from the start of the race on an overcast day here in Central Florida. The cars have been move to the grid and many fans are now out on the track taking pictures and milling about.

Earlier today staff and volunteers from the Children's Tumor Foundation convened at the CTF/Farnbacher Loles garages to meet the drivers and have a first-hand look at the 86, 87 & 88 cars that will compete in todays race.

Three-year-old Jesse Markland starred as photographers and videographers filmed him sitting in the driver's seat of the 86 car that bears a decal proclaiming it the NF Hero Jesse Markland Car.

Check in regularly throughout the day as we Race4Research to find treatment and a cure for neurofibromatosis.
