The 62nd running of the Rolex 24 at Daytona gets underway this weekend, marking the opening event of the 2024 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season.
A record 59 cars are set to take the start, including Acura, BMW, Cadillac and Porsche seeking overall victory.
The Whelen Cadillac of Pipo Derani, Jack Aitken and Tom Blomqvist will lead the field off the grid on Saturday afternoon.
While Acura holds the distinction of claiming last year's overall victory with their ARX-06 prototype, this weekend’s event is expected to be a much tighter affair with multiple contenders capable of claiming the checkered flag.
The Rolex 24 has a rich history of producing memorable moments and surprise victories, and 2024 is poised to add another chapter to this legacy.
With a talented lineup of drivers, cutting-edge machinery, and the thrill of a 24-hour endurance challenge, this weekend's classic is sure to be another unforgettable spectacle for motorsport fans worldwide.
The green flag will fly this Saturday at 1:40 PM ET, and you can catch the start of the race live on NBC!
