THE TEAMS


The 2007 Rolex 24 At Daytona entry list includes 21 former overall winners and 47 previous class winners of America’s most prestigious endurance race in addition to a host of champions and superstar drivers from various forms of motorsport. Of the 70 cars entered, 31 will include at least one driver with a class or overall victory in the Rolex 24 At Daytona. There are 28 Daytona Prototypes entered and 42 GT machines. The race will be televised live beginning at 1:00 p.m. ET on FOX on Saturday, January 27, followed by three parts on SPEED which begin at 2:30 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. on Saturday and 6:00 a.m. on Sunday, January 28. Five-time overall winner Hurley Haywood—who owns six class victories in the Rolex 24—heads the list of former winners entered for the race on January 27-28. Haywood earned overall victories in 1991, 1979, 1977, 1975 and 1973 and a GT2500 class triumph in 1972. He will co-drive the No. 59 Brumos Racing Porsche Riley with Rolex Series race-winner J.C. France, Portuguese sports car ace and 2003 GTS class winner Joao Barbosa, and Brazilian former Formula 1 and Champ Car pilot Roberto Moreno.

A pair of three-time overall winners, Andy Wallace and Butch Leitzinger, will be reunited once again in the No. 20 Howard Motorsports Pontiac Crawford. Wallace earned overall victories in 1999, 1997 and 1990, as well as a GTS class win in 2003, while Leitzinger’s three overall wins came in 1999, 1997 and 1994. Wallace and Leitzinger will once again share the No. 20 machine with two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion and 1997 Indy Racing League IndyCar Series champion Tony Stewart. The same three drivers co-drove the team’s No. 4 Pontiac Crawford in last year’s race.

Two-time overall winner Wayne Taylor will also return to the cockpit for the 2007 Rolex 24 At Daytona. Taylor, an overall winner in 1996 and 2005, will share the No. 10 SunTrust Pontiac Riley with Danish racer Jan Magnussen, four-time NASCAR Cup Series champion and three-time Daytona 500 winner Jeff Gordon and 2005 Rolex 24 At Daytona overall winner Max Angelelli. In addition to their Rolex 24 triumph two years ago, Taylor and Angelelli also shared the Daytona Prototype championship, while Gordon will be making his Rolex 24 debut. Angelelli posted the fastest time Daytona Test Days last weekend.
