[autotag]Porsche Penske Motorsport[/autotag] has returned to victory lane at the Rolex 24 at DAYTONA. The No. 7 Porsche, driven by Josef Newgarden, Felipe Nasr, Dane Cameron, and Matt Campbell, beat Action Express Racing to secure its first Rolex 24 at DAYTONA victory since 1969. It is the second time Porsche Penske Motorsport has won the event since its debut.
Roger Penske’s reign of success over the last 365 days has been nothing short of phenomenal. The same goes for Newgarden, who won the 2023 Indianapolis 500 for the first time in his career. However, it was Nasr who held off Tom Blomqvist in the No. 31 Cadillac during the final stint of the race following a late-race caution.
It's time for a new watch! ⌚️
