The Rolex 24 in Daytona is the biggest race of the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series. Each year, drivers from around the world join Grand-Am regulars at the 3.56-mile track, which first hosted the event in 1962. Since Dan Gurney won that race, 61 drivers from the U.S. have taken a checkered flag in the twice-around-the-clock classic. But the U.S. contingent isn't the only one represented at this international race. Drivers from the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Mexico and Italy are represented as well.I was thrilled to be invited by the JLowe Racing Team (Car No. 64) for a behind-the-scenes VIP look at the race day preparations. From watching the mechanics prep the car to a full interview with JLowe Team Driver Tim Sugden of England (stay tuned for the interview) to the champagne toast at midnight, this event was really cool and one that I plan on attending again next year. Oh yeah...did I mention Dr. McDreamy himself Patrick Dempsey is there??
Anyone up for a Girls Getaway to the Rolex 24 in Daytona in 2010?
