The driver lineup for the Childress-Howard Motorsports entry in the 2009 Rolex 24 at Daytona has earned victories in the Rolex 24, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Sprint Cup Series and the IndyCar Series. The talented driver quartet for the #2 CHM Pontiac Crawford Daytona Prototype is headed by three-time Rolex 24 overall winner Andy Wallace (1990, 97, 99). Sprint Cup Series driver and 2006 Rolex 24 overall winner #07-Casey Mears, IndyCar Series star and 2006 Rolex 24 competitor Danica Patrick and veteran sports car racer Rob Finlay will all see significant time behind the wheel. Only five drivers have won more Rolex 24 overall titles than the three earned by Wallace. His trophy case also includes trophies from the 24 Hours of Le Mans (1988), the 12 Hours of Sebring (1992, 93) and the Petit Le Mans (1999). Mears was a co-driver for the winning team that earned the overall victory in the 2006 Rolex 24, becoming the first full-time Sprint Cup Series driver to do so. He was named in August 2008 as the driver of Richard Childress Racings #07 Jack Daniels Chevrolet team for the 2009 Sprint Cup Series season.(Childress-Howard Motorsports PR)(1-5-2009)
