A grid of 61 cars—27 prototypes and 34 GTs—are scheduled to take the green flag for the 52nd Tudor United SportsCar Championship Rolex 24 at Daytona on Jan. 25

The 2014 Rolex 24 will be the first event for the Tudor Championship, and the first chance for fans to see what sports car racing in North America will look like in the future.

The prototype grid includes the best of the Rolex Daytona Prototypes, P2 cars from ALMS, and an entry from Europe’s Oak Racing. GT Le Mans features factory- or factory-supported entries from Aston Martin, Corvette Racing, BMW, Porsche, Dodge’s SRT Viper team, and Risi Competizione’s Ferrari.

As usual, the grid is full of national and international stars from NASCAR, IndyCar, and the World Endurance Championship, as well as the best from TUSC’s component series, the Roles and American Le Mans Series.

2013 Indy 500 winner Tony Kanaan will share the #02 Ganassi Riley-Ford with fellow three-time Indy champ Scott Dixon and NASCAR’s Nationwide 2013 Rookie of the Year Kyle Larson. NASCAR Sprint Cup driver Jamie McMurray will co-drive the #01 Ganassi with Indy Lights star Sage Karam and multiple Rolex champs Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas. Chris Jasurek/Epoch Times
