Daytona Rolex 24 Pictures

I'm sitting here in my office watching a live stream of the finish of the 2020 Rolex 24 at Daytona.  By the time I finish typing, the winners will be identified.  I can say I was there for much of the weekend, but after arriving in Daytona at 7:00AM on Thursday I was ready on Saturday afternoon to fold my tent and head home to do my post work on my pictures.

It was by far the best weather we have had in the five years that I've been going, so fans have to be happy with that.  The crowd was huge and the parties were happening around the campfires late into the night.  In other words, a perfect race experience!

There was a lot of other action on the track all weekend, including the Michelin Pilot Challenge and the Ferrari Challenge that was, for the first time in North America run under the lights. And one of the favorite activities included the Heritage Exhibition Laps.  I'll include a few of those pictures here and reserve coverage of the Michelin Pilot Challenge and the Ferrari Challenge for my next post.

So here we go with the pictures and in 90 seconds I can officially post the winners- and congratulations to the winners.  White flag, checkered flag, congratulations everyone!
