Wow, What a Race!

If you can tune into Speed for the last hour of the Rolex 24 Hours At Daytona we strongly recommend doing so. In addition to the valiant effort of Children's Tumor Foundation No. 85 car in the GT class there is also an amazing battle unfolding in the Daytona Prototype class. The lead three cars are separated by mere seconds after more than 23 hours of racing! There's speculation that this may be the closest 24 hour race since a race at Le Mans in France 40 years ago!

If you can't tune into Speed worry not, your faithful blogger will be right here with all your race needs!

Sadly, we don't get that channel. How is our placement?

I don't get the speed channel. What position is the #85 car in now?
Give the drivers and crew big kudos from me.

We're hanging in around the 17-18 place range. For several of our drivers this is their first ever attempt at the 24 at Daytona and they're performing tremendously. In fact I just looked up at the Daytona Prototype class and 8 cars are out of the race completely - to give you some idea of the difficulty of finishing the race. No worries about no Speed, I'm right here to keep you up to date!
