DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - As the field approaches the green flag for both the GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series presented by Crown Royal Cask No. 16 Rolex 24 At Daytona and the GRAND-AM Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge Fresh From Florida 200 at Daytona International Speedway, Mazda is guaranteed to be at the front of the grid.
The 2010 Mazda RX-8 has been selected as the pace car for the 48th Rolex 24 At Daytona on Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 30-31 and the 2010 MAZDASPEED3 will be used to pace the Fresh From Florida 200 on Friday, Jan. 29.
"Mazda is a tremendous supporter of both the GRAND-AM Rolex Series and the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge, particularly in the number of teams it supports," said Kevin Hindson, GRAND-AM Vice President, Marketing and Communications. "Mazda has built a great reputation on its road racing programs over the past several years, so selecting Mazdas to pace this weekend's races was a natural fit. We're looking forward to using Mazda's 'zoom-zoom' to get both the Rolex 24 and the Fresh From Florida 200 underway."
