With four different cars and nine different drivers visiting Victory Lane through the first four races in the 2007 Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series presented by Crown Royal Special Reserve, the series is poised to set a new record should another different car take the win in Sunday’s U. S. Sports Car Invitational delivered by Luggage Express.
For the first time since 2004, the first four races were won by four different sets of teammates, but a fifth different set of winners would be a first for the Rolex Series. Daytona Prototype points co-leaders Max Angelelli and Jan Magnussen will be among the teams looking to break the cycle of different winners this weekend at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.
Sharing the No. 10 SunTrust Pontiac Riley, Angelelli and Magnussen top an entry list featuring 19 Daytona Prototypes and 41 cars overall, after the teammates claimed their first victory of the season in last month’s VIR 400. That victory, coupled with podium results in each of the first three races, vaulted Magnussen and Angelelli to the Daytona Prototype points lead. They currently lead 2004 Daytona Prototype co-champion Scott Pruett by 11 points, 127-116, and head into this weekend’s race riding a streak of 11 straight top-five finishes as co-drivers. They are also the defending champions at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.
