Race[edit]

The #01 Telmex Chip Ganassi Racing Lexus-powered Riley of Scott Pruett, Memo Rojas, Dario Franchitti, and Juan Pablo Montoya led 252 laps and gave Chip Ganassi racing their 3rd successive win at the Daytona 24 Hours. The #01 team took the overall victory by a margin of 2 laps over the #99 Gainsco Bob Stallings Racing Pontiac-powered Riley entry. At the start, many cars (including the eventual race winner) had to start from pitlane after changing their tires from wets to slicks.[2] The #70 SpeedSource Mazda RX-8 GT of Sylvain Tremblay, Nick Ham, David Haskell, and Raphael Matos were the winners in GT, completing 664 laps and finishing 9th overall. The overall pace of the race was slowed due to wet weather during the night.[3]

A total of 22 safety car periods neutralized the race for 112 laps.



Car 83 finished 53rd overall out of 66,  32nd out of 51 in GT.  Car was campaigned by Farnbacher Loles Racing  and driven by C. R. Crews, Russell Walker, Peter Ludwig, Ben McCrackin and Tim Bergmeister
