Overnight at the 24 Hours of Daytona

For the record, people who report on the 24 DO get some sleep. So do the drivers; that's why the teams have multiple drivers.
Rain is a great equalizer in endurance racing. We've just had a downpour...the cold front is blowing the rain away.
Of the visiting racers (from NASCAR, IRL, Champ Car) only Jeff Gordon & 2005 IRL champ Dan Wheldon have a shot for the overall win. Wheldon runs 3rd...Gordon's team 4th. If you call Scott Pruett a NASCAR driver---his team leads after 19:15 of the 24 hours.
This ain't over until it's over (thanks, Yogi Berra). One thing we know--Chip Ganassi's Lexus-Riley cars are stronger than rent money.
