David Donahue, on the 40th anniversary of his father's historic victory at the Rolex 24 hours of Daytona, has put Porsche back in victory lane!!!

The last 2 hours came down to a 4 car fight for the win. That faded to three cars, then with about 45 mins to go it became clear it was a two car race. Juan Pablo Montoya put up a fight, but even the fantastic handling his Lexus Riley had no solution for the straight away speed of the Brumos Porsche Riley.

What a great way to kick off the 2009 racing season. New pole records in both DP and GT classes, new record for laps covered under the revised track configuration with 735 completed in the 24hours, and some fantastic side by side racing.

I only wish Speed channel had stayed on all night to cover the amazing action in the dark.
