Montoya, McMurray to run Rolex 24: On Tuesday, Grand-Am – and its fans — got a belated Christmas gift from Chip Ganassi, in the form of a star-studded lineup for the upcoming Rolex 24 at Daytona, one encompassing two cars, eight drivers, three racing disciplines and a return appearance by Jamie McMurray. Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas, the reigning Rolex Series Daytona Prototype co-champions, will be joined in the #01 Target/Telmex BMW/Riley prototype by Grand-Am veteran Joey Hand and Graham Rahal, the latter recently announced as a new Ganassi driver in the IndyCar Series. In the #02 Telmex/Target BMW/Riley, last year’s Daytona team returns intact: McMurray, two-time Rolex 24 champion Juan Pablo Montoya and two IndyCar vets — two-time series titlist Scott Dixon and the series’ reigning champ, Dario Franchitti. Collectively, those two teams have won 12 series championships, eight Rolex 24s, one Daytona 500 and four Indianapolis 500s.(Ganassi PR)(1-5-2011)
