At the 2024 running of the 24 Hours of Daytona, Tom Blomqvist pulled off an outrageous move on Felipe Nasr to take the lead of the race.
The 2025 24 Hours of Daytona is set to begin today at the Daytona International Speedway, with top motorsports names vying for victory in the Rolex 24. The 235-driver field includes 14 former F1 racers, like Kevin Magnussen, starting from pole with BMW alongside Dries Vanthoor in the Grand Touring Prototype class. Tom Blomqvist, who previously won the Rolex 24 in 2022 and 2023 with Meyer Shank, will also compete. In last year’s race, Blomqvist executed a remarkable overtake on Felipe Nasr, only to lose the lead later due to a perfectly timed pit stop by the rival Porsche Penske team. Despite the thrilling battles, Nasr and Blomqvist return for this year’s event, with Nasr sticking with Porsche Penske and Blomqvist driving for Meyer Shank once more.
