Race fans watching the 62nd Rolex 24 at Daytona on NBC noticed that the television displayed, "Two laps to go" during the race's final minutes, but the checker flag was thrown the next time by. The checker was displayed early, and Felipe Nasr crossed the line for the final time in the No.
“It's a different kind of pain, finishing second by that little,” said Jack Aitken after he, Pipo Derani and Tom Blomqvist were two seconds away from a Rolex 24 at Daytona victory in Whelen Cadillac Racing's No.31 Cadillac V-Series.R.
Josef Newgarden said he felt “a little awkward” celebrating among the sports car regulars that he joined in taking Porsche Penske Motorsport’s No.7 Porsche 963 to victory in the Rolex 24 at Daytona.
