Two-time AMA Champion Jason Pridmore is at the World Center of Speed in preparation for Saturday’s 47th Rolex 24 at Daytona. Making his four-wheeled debut in the No. 09 Spirit of Daytona Racing AMA Pro Racing Porsche Coyote, Pridmore is joined by five-time Daytona 200 winner Scott Russell, motocross legend Jeff Ward, and Rolex Series veteran Guy Cosmo. “Just walking around the paddock today is like a who’s who of auto racing”, Pridmore said. “Montoya, Jimmie Johnson, Kyle Petty, Danica Patrick. It’s unbelievable.” “We just had a team meeting today in preparation for qualifying tomorrow. During the race, the goal is to drive smart and pass the car off to the next guy in good shape. Our stints will be up to two hours at a time, and I know from my motorcycle experience in World Endurance that anything can happen during a twenty-four hour. But I have to remind myself to have realistic goals, just like we suggest to our students at the STAR School.” Pridmore will be making updates during the Rolex 24 via Twitter to his STAR School website www.starmotorcycle.com. The Rolex 24 starts at 3:30 p.m. ET Saturday. The start of the race will be televised live on FOX, with the remainder of the coverage on SPEED.
