Rolex 24 at Daytona going on right now

The United SportsCar Championship is currently holding its first race of the season, the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona, at none other than Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. The event, which features rotating drivers from several teams driving four classes of sports cars with the leader and his teammates at the 24-hour mark winning, is held on the road course configuration of the track. The differences of this configuration from the NASCAR tri-oval are the usage of the infield road course section, whose entrance and exit are between the start-finish line and stock car turn 1, and a chicane along the backstretch slightly closer to stock car turn 3. As always, this year's Rolex 24 has featured a lot of exciting action just a few hours in. This is the USCC's second season after merging with a previous sports car sanctioning body after 2013, as well as what is regarded by some as the beginning of Budweiser Speedweeks, the series of races at Daytona that concludes with the Great American Race, the Daytona 500.
