Brumos Porsche 250 is this weekend, marking the 100th race of the Daytona Prototype era.

Entry List (31 cars)

TV:
Qualifying Friday 11:15 am Speed.com
Race Saturday 1 pm Speed (Slight tape delay)

Notables:
Boris Said is in the 31 Whelen Corvette
Though not listed as of this posting, Andy Wallace will be in the 42 Sahlen Mazda replacing Joe Sahleen.

The big news of this week is that the 01 Ganassi car was fined for apparently having some sort of an illegal engine.

GRAND-AM Road Racing today assessed penalties on the No. 01 team that competes in the Daytona Prototype class, as a result of a rule violation during the June 19 Rolex Series race at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.

During post-race inspection, the team was found to be in violation of Daytona Prototype Regulations 4-1.1 Engine Eligibility (components and performance levels that must be strictly adhered to).

As a result, the No. 01 Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates team was penalized 25 team points; drivers Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas were penalized 25 driver points; and BMW was penalized 25 manufacturer points.

Additionally, the team was fined $15,000 payable to Camp Boggy Creek, a full-service camp for seriously ill children and the official charity of GRAND-AM.

GRAND-AM also announced a rule change affecting any teams using the 5.0-liter BMW V-8 engine. Cars electing to use this engine must weigh an additional 75 pounds, increasing the weight minimum to 2,350 lbs.


Basically Pruett and Rojas points lead has fallen from 32 to 7 over Burt Frisselee and Mark Wilkins.

Wilkins you dumbfuck...Rojas ran into him in the pits, knocked the nose loose, Wikins popped Pruett in the rear exiting the pits, the hood flew off, then the moron runs into the back of the 01 with an exposed engine with no nose on it and damaged a bunch of engine parts.
