Defending Grand-Am Rolex 24 At Daytona winners Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates (CGRFS) announced today a two-car effort for the Rolex Sports Car Series' 47th running of the prestigious Rolex 24 At Daytona, featuring six drivers representing some of the best talent the motor racing world has to offer. Juan Pablo Montoya, Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas will unite to form the driver lineup in the #01 TELMEX/Target Daytona Prototype, while Team Target IndyCar pilots Scott Dixon and Dario Franchitti join Alex Lloyd in the #02 Target/TELMEX Daytona Prototype.

I guess he doesn't really want to win if he is putting "Mini Vato" in that ride....either that or he needs a write-off.

Looks like he is watching Tony Stewart climb the fence again....or is that his family climbing over a fence??

Montoya might need the practice on road courses, with sponsorship troubles, he just might end up out of a ride and he just might find himself back in the IRL or even F-1.

Ganassi won the 24hr last year, they are good for a 1st and 2nd this year.
JPM is eats too much McDonald's to go back to F1, but he could very well end up as Dario's teammate in IRL!

He won last year.
Scott Pruett ( the guy he spun out in mexico)was on the team as well.

Juan Pablo had some decent rides last year especially near the end of the season. With the new car this year, he will be a visitor to the winners circle.

Now thats what I call an unbeatable team! Now if the equipment holds up, Ganassi ought to be in the Winner's Circle alot this year.
