2024 Writers’ Roundtable, Vol. 5: Biggest Rolex 24 Winner?

Today’s question: Which INDYCAR competitor helped themselves the most with their performance at the Rolex 24 At Daytona?. When Dixon celebrated that same birthday, he had 37 series race wins, including one at Indy, and two season championships. Newgarden has a Baby Borg and two season titles, and he stands at 29 race wins. While he came into the Rolex 24 At Daytona as a two-time reigning race winner, what struck me was that the team he was driving for (Whelen Cadillac Racing) chose Blomqvist, a part-time driver in the series this season, to bring them to the checkered flag. Most teams would figure to have the final driver of the race be among their full-time participants. Rasmussen’s performance caught the eye of veteran Era teammate Ryan Dalziel, who won this race overall in 2010 and in the LMP2 class in 2021 and is a class winner at the Le Mans 24 Hours.
