Come 8:00am on the morning of the Rolex 24 at Daytona, Kyle Kirkwood, driver for Vasser Sullivan Racing, will already be an hour and a half into his work day. The green flag won't wave for almost six more hours. It's the same situation for the 230-plus drivers taking part in the fabled 24-hour race that runs across Saturday and Sunday: a 24-hour race, plus the rest of “race day.”
But for Kirkwood, it's actually races, plural. He'll be piloting both the Lexus team’s No. 14 GTD Pro and No. 12 GTD entries during the enduro.
