A new component will then enhance the Rolex 24 coverage. SPEED.com will cover the night action with a camera located atop the grandstand, several stationary cameras, a running leaderboard and audio commentary.

I'll be pulling for the #64 TRG Porsche. It's been a while since a fellow chilean (or two in this case) is present in such an important race.

With all the economy crap 59 is damn amazing. I'd like a few more DP's but we all know it's gonna go down to the wire with probably 5 or 6 cars on the lead lap with the sun rises Sunday morning!

And 75 or so entered in the Continental Tire race! People can say what they like about it but the Grand-Am package is in pretty good health just now.

What I'm looking forward to:

CHIP GANASSI WINS
CHIP GANASSI WINS
CHIP GANASSI WINS!!!!! :flag: :flag: :flag: :flag: :flag:




Actually just some good battle for the win, became a fan of Chip, specially Montoya after the epic battle were he tried to hold the rivals with a slower car, best 24h action I've ever seen.


I also hate haters, so I'll be happy if Chip win for everyone that hate them. :)

Chip is kind of an ass, and if that isn't enough Scott Pruett is DEFINITELY an ass. I've never really seen anyone more pompous than Scott, and even though he has decent driving credentials, he just comes across as totally scripted and plastic. His commentary is awful and SPEED just seems to love him.

That said, I wouldn't mind seeing the #02 win it. Montoya needs to settle his ass down after last year's punting spree. Would love to see Jamie McMurray win.

Ultimately I don't care too much about DP anyway. Dinger deserves a win after his drives the last few years, so a #60 win would be cool. The McNish/Dalziel/Luhr car has a lot of potential too, with Popow and Potolicchio having come on leaps and bounds the last season or so. Feast or famine for them, I think...
