2000 Rolex 24 at Daytona Part 1

The 2000 running of the Rolex 24 at Daytona, saw a bit of a trend start, where GT cars beat the Prototype racers for the outright victory, on a couple of occasions, which had only been done a few other times, and in the 1994 edition of the Rolex 24 in the modern era.  Keep in mind, in some instances in the 1970s, there had been GT cars that had gone on to win the overall at the Daytona 24. 

Quite a strong field was assembled.  2000 marked the debut of the then new Grand American Road Racing Association.  Here is part one of two parts of the 2000 race broadcast.  Marty Reid and Jeremy Dale, in the booth, have the call of the action, with pit reporting from Bill Weber and Dave Burns.
