Montoya, Franchitti to drive in 24 hours of Daytona race

[VilleneuveTracy]

I am not sure which sub-forum this properly belongs in but since both are NASCAR drivers I figured this would be an acceptable forum. If I am wrong, please let me know.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Defending Grand-Am Rolex 24 at Daytona winners Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates on Monday announced a two-car effort for the Rolex Sports Car Series' 46th running of the prestigious event, featuring eight drivers representing some of the best talent the motor racing world has to offer.

Juan Montoya, Dario Franchitti, Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas will unite for the twice-round-the-clock classic to form the driver lineup in the No. 01 TELMEX/Target Daytona Prototype, while Team Target IndyCar pilots Scott Dixon and Dan Wheldon join Salvador Duran and Alex Lloyd in the No. 02 Target/TELMEX Daytona Prototype.


After winning the 2006 and 2007 events, Ganassi will look to become the first team in history to win three consecutive overall titles in the Rolex 24 at Daytona

The Ganassi roster is an impressive group of international racing champions representing three Indianapolis 500 titles (Montoya in 2000, Wheldon in 2005 and Franchitti in 2007), five open-wheel championships (Montoya in 1999, Dixon in 2003, Wheldon in 2005, Lloyd in 2007 and Franchitti in 2007), two Daytona Prototype championships (Pruett in 2004 and 2006) and five former Rolex 24 winners.
