2017 24 Hours of Daytona


The 55th Rolex 24 at Daytona was an endurance sports car racing event held at the Daytona International Speedway, Daytona Beach, Florida on January 28–29, 2017. It was also the first race for the 2017 WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season. The overall race winner was the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Cadillac of Ricky Taylor, Jordan Taylor, Max Angelelli, and Jeff Gordon.
The event had the second closest finish in the race's history, and the ending is regarded as one of the greatest finishes in the history of endurance racing. With roughly seven minutes to go, contact between eventual winner Ricky Taylor and Filipe Albuquerque of Mustang Sampling Racing sent Albuquerque spinning. Albuquerque subsequently ran down Taylor over the final minutes, including trimming the lead by nearly a second and a half on the final lap, but came up short by 0.671 seconds.
