DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Turns out Helio Castroneves' famous fence-climb works just as well in Daytona as it does in Indianapolis.
Castroneves, the four-time Indy 500 winner and defending champion, held off a late charge from Ricky Taylor during Sunday's closing minutes of the Rolex 24 to win the coveted watch for Meyer Shank Racing.
Castroneves, driving the No. 60 Acura DPi, led the field to a restart with 30 minutes left and held the lead the rest of the way, keeping Taylor, his former Wayne Taylor Racing teammate, behind him during a frantic final few laps.
