Rolex 24 at Daytona
The Rolex 24 at Daytona begins today at 3:00 ET only on Speed. And while Speed will have televised coverage of a lot of the event, in the wee-hours of the morning the Rolex 24 at Daytona will not be televised.
So if you find yourself having difficulties sleeping tonight, if you can?t watch the event live, or if you just get sick of the endless commercials, fear not! We?ve got you covered with LIVE timing and scoring of the Rolex 24 at Daytona
Date: Jan. 27, 2011
Event: 49th Rolex 24 At Daytona (Round 1 of 12)
Series: Daytona Prototype division of the GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series
Location: Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway (3.56-mile, 12-turn road course)
Pole Winner: Jorg Bergmeister of Flying Lizard Motorsports (1:40.099 at 128.033 mph)
SunTrust Racing: Second by Max Angelelli (1:40.133 at 127.990 mph)
The No. 10 SunTrust Chevrolet Dallara of Wayne Taylor Racing will start this weekend?s 49th renewal of the GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series season-opening Rolex 24 At Daytona from the inside of the front row after qualifying Thursday afternoon at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway.
Italian driving ace Max Angelelli, who?s co-driving the SunTrust Racing prototype with regular full-time teammate Ricky Taylor, IZOD IndyCar Series star Ryan Briscoe and team owner Wayne Taylor, clocked a lap of 1 minute, 40.133 seconds (127.990 mph) around the 3.56-mile, 12-turn superspeedway road circuit, second-fastest among 50 car-and-driver combinations entered for this weekend?s 24-hour endurance classic. Angelelli, the polesitter in the SunTrust Racing machine at last year?s Rolex 24, was just 34-thousandths of a second off the record-setting pole time of fellow former series champion Jorg Bergmeister in the No. 45 Flying Lizard Motorsports Porsche Riley today. Nonetheless, Angelelli qualified the SunTrust car on the front row for the fifth time in eight Rolex 24s since SunTrust joined the series in 2004.
