SunTrust Racing calls on Magnussen

Veteran Formula One, Champ Car and sports car racer Jan Magnussen of Denmark has been named as co-driver alongside Max Angelelli in the No. 10 SunTrust Racing Pontiac Riley of Wayne Taylor Racing for the next three Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series events at Mexico City, Homestead, Fla., and Virginia International Raceway in Alton, Va.

Last month, the 33-year-old Magnussen teamed with Angelelli, team-owner Wayne Taylor and four-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Jeff Gordon in driving the SunTrust Racing Daytona Prototype to its third podium finish in the last four season-opening Rolex 24 At Daytona endurance events, a streak that includes a victory in 2005 en route to that season’s Rolex Series championship.
