Pit Pass Network Predictions: The Rolex 24

Racing will take place this weekend at the Daytona International Speedway as the Rolex 24 is set for Saturday and Sunday. 59 cars between four classes will take the Daytona road course in IMSA’s opening event. Unlike previous years, the NASCAR influence is light in the entry list. However, there are plenty of IndyCar stars mixing it up with the IMSA regulars. For the first time in 2024, the Pit Pass Network crew will do predictions for a race weekend. With the expansive knowledge of IMSA and The Rolex, here are the predictions for The Rolex 24.

*Note: Predictions for the BMW M Endurance Challenge were made prior to the event running.
