Adding to the difficulty factor was the air temperature, which by noon was down to 50 degrees, affecting not only the grip of the tires but also the comfort of crew members who had been out in the elements since early Saturday morning.<\/p>\n<p>With half an hour left of racing the contest came down to two cars: the #9 Action Express Racing Porsche\/Riley driven by Joao Barbosa of Portugal and the #01 Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates BMW\/Riley driven by Scott Pruett from Auburn, California.<\/p>\n<p>With 15 minutes left in the race the excitement grew because Pruett, who is known as a hard-charger, was only 52.640 seconds behind the leader. The possibility of a yellow flag incident \u2013 allowing the field to close up behind the pace car and create a whole new race scenario for Pruett to potentially benefit from \u2013 added to the tension as the race reached its conclusion.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, and especially for anyone who enjoys cheering for the underdog, there was ample reason to cheer for the checkered flag finish of the 2010 Rolex 24 At Daytona when Barbosa crossed the finish line first after 24 thrilling hours of racing. Pruett had pushed hard to catch him, but in the end the 52.303 deficit was just not attainable.<\/p>\n<p>The winning #9 Action Express Racing team is a multi-national effort with four nationalities represented just in the driving line-up alone: Barbosa hails from Porto, Portugal; Terry Borcheller from Vero Beach, Florida; Ryan Dalziel from Coatbridge, Scotland; and Mike Rockenfeller from Neuwied, Germany.<\/p>\n<p>When asked what plans they had to celebrate the win, Borcheller said they had not made any. \u201cWith all the obstacles we\u2019ve been having, including all the teething pains, it\u2019s hard to \u2018expect\u2019 to win. The Chip Ganassi\u2019s of the world, who do all the right things in terms of preparation and take all the right steps, they are the ones you are going to have to beat. So, when you see things are not going exactly like plan, it\u2019s hard to \u2018expect\u2019 to win. These things really seem unrealistic. Every time he [team manager Gary Nelson] sent me an email with all the problems, at the end of the email he would write, \u2018expect to win.\u2019 So I think Gary expects to win. I found those emails encouraging.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The #01 Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates BMW\/Riley team, led by three-time Rolex 24 At Daytona winner Scott Pruett, included Memo Rojas, Mexico City, Mexico; Justin Wilson, Dacono, Colorado; and Italian racer Max Papis who lives in Miami, Florida. The second-place finishers attributed their loss to a vibration that ultimately went away. \u201cEvery year the cars get more refined, more robust, you\u2019re not losing a wheel or brakes,\u201d said Pruett explaining that at this level of competition it\u2019s the finer details that can cost you half a lap \u2013 and the win \u2013 as it did here. \u201cWe just ran the thing as hard as we could the whole run. Because you\u2019ve been in the winner\u2019s circle and the race is so draining\u2026when you don\u2019t get back to the top it\u2019s just emotions. It\u2019s always frustrating.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Members of the team #01 team felt second place was a good start to the racing season. \u201cWe wanted the watch, but we got the championship points for the season,\u201d said Papis, who with about eight hours to go was running like it was the last lap. \u201cWe came over here with one team, one goal. We accept it and at the same time I really want to congratulate the #9 car. They did a supreme job, they put us under pressure. You feel you take an opportunity like this, and you know you can lose by some small details. It was a real honor to be part of this team. The way we handled the race in the pit and off the pit, we were one team. It\u2019s just a bit of a shame I have to go back with a plastic watch\u2026but I will be back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Finishing third in Daytona Prototype was the #95 the Crown Royal\/NPN Racing BMW\/Riley driven by Scott Tucker of Overland Park, Kansas, with Ryan Hunter-Reay from Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Lucas Luhr from Monte Carlo, Monaco; and Richard Westbrook from London, England.<\/p>\n<p>The GT class was a 30-strong field of very competitive cars, of which less than half finished this endurance test. The race was won by the #70 SpeedSource Mazda RX-8 with an All American team: Nick Ham from Evergreen, Colorado; Jonathan Bomarito from Monterey, California; David Haskell from Plantation, Florida and Sylvain Tremblay from Sunrise, Florida.<\/p>\n<p>I think we built this car in 29 days,\u201d said Haskell. I\u2019ve been at the shop every morning, 7 days a week for the last 90 days from 6 in the morning to 7 at night and it\u2019s really been worth it. I\u2019m sure all the guys who are backing up the truck right now are saying the same thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Finishing second was the #67 TRG \/ Flying Lizard Motorsports Porsche GT3 driven by Jorg Bergmeister of Langenfeld, Germany, Patrick Long from Belleair, Florida; Seth Neiman from Woodside, California; and Johannes Van Overbeek from Oakland, California. Third went to the #66 TRG Porsche GT3 driven by Ted Ballou from Corona del Mar, Calif., with Kelly Collins and Patrick Flanagan, both of Newport Beach, California; Andy Lally from Dacula, Georgia, and Wolf Henzler from Nuertingen, Germany.<\/p>\n<p>Through all the rain and adversity it was a very fast Rolex 24 At Daytona. This 24 had a lot of damage done to it; records were set for distance with 755 laps completed; there were 53 different lead changes; it was the 22nd overall win for Porsche and the 16th class win for Mazda. This Super Bowl of Grand Am racing was won by a new team, who started in the rain and finished in a shower of champagne.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>2010 Rolex 24 at Daytona Photo
