Jamie McMurray and Kyle Larson help Ganassi entry to Rolex 24 victory
Sprint Cup Series drivers Jamie McMurray (#1) and Kyle Larson (#42) helped take Chip Ganassi's #01 Chevrolet to victory in the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona sportscar endurance race on Sunday. The race is sanctioned by the United SportsCar Championship. Larson and McMurray were joined by Ganassi's IndyCar drivers Tony Kanaan of Brazil and Scott Dixon of New Zealand. McMurray is now just the third driver in motorsports history to win both the Rolex 24 and NASCAR's Daytona 500, joining open-wheel legends Mario Andretti and A.J. Foyt. McMurray won the Great American Race in 2010 in his first race reunited with Ganassi after leaving following the 2005 Nextel Cup season. Meanwhile, Dixon won the Indianapolis 500 in 2008 and Kanaan in 2013.
