Action Express Outlast the field at Rolex 24
Daytona Rolex 24 Podium |
Action Express ran away with the Rolex 24 in what was pretty much a dud as far as final-hour dramatics. The No. 5 Cadillac led nearly the final nine hours and broke the record for laps completed (808) and miles completed (2,876.48).

“This is a great endurance achievement and story,” said IMSA CEO Ed Bennett. “We are extremely proud of all the drivers, teams, manufacturers and IMSA officials who played important roles to achieve this together.”
Below are the winners of this grueling endurance race.
