Australia's Ryan Briscoe and his Ganassi teammates have tasted success at Daytona, beating off their sister car to win the GT Le Mans class title on Sunday.
Ganassi's two Ford GT entries dominated with Briscoe, Richard Westbrook and Kiwi Scott Dixon defeating the defending class champions of Joey Hand, Dirk Mueller and Sebastien Bourdais.
Ganassi now has eight wins in 15 Rolex appearances. His teams have won six overall titles and now boast two class victories.
He's the only team owner in history to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Indianapolis 500, Daytona 500, Brickyard 400, Rolex and 12 Hours of Sebring.
The Action Express team of Filipe Albuquerque, Joao Barbosa and Christian Fittipaldi drove Cadillac to the overall victory at Daytona International Speedway.
It's the second consecutive Rolex win for Cadillac but came from the team that finished second last year.
The race was clean and fast, except for the traditional attrition of an endurance race, and set a record at 808 laps.
It bettered the mark of 762 laps sent in 1992. The race also set a record with 2,876.48 miles, breaking the mark of 2,760.960 miles in 1982.
Two-time world F1 champion Fernando Alonso made his debut in a major sports car competition but was saddled by a myriad mechanical problems with his United Autosports entry.
The Spaniard's car finished 13th in class and 38th overall, but he raved about his time in the endurance race and said he was leaning "60/40" toward adding the 24 Hours of Le Mans to this year's schedule.
"I have a positive feeling," said Alonso, who drove four stints - the length of almost three F1 races. "We had so many issues with the reliability but nevertheless I am happy, it was very good fun."
