Rolex 24 Hour 10: Acuras run 1-2
Turning laps 1-sec slower than teammate Ricky Taylor in the same car, IndyCar driver Alexander Rossi assumed the lead in the #10 Wayne Taylor Racing Acura during the caution after the 9-hour mark of the Rolex 24 at Daytona, but as soon as the green dropped, Tom Blomqvist in the #60 Meyer Shank Racing Acura gave Rossi a driving a lesson and passed him for the lead halfway around the first green flag lap.
From there, Blomqvist continued to school Rossi lap after lap, and was still leading by 0.376s when the race hit the 10-hour mark.
Other Class Leaders at 10 Hours.
