But equally, I understand that plain won't happen due to costs.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to it this weekend! Looking at practise times, think its a fight between the Ganassi, Brumos and Shank cars. 9 and a half hours to green flag!

Oh yeah, I have to menton that the CHM Pontiac-Crawford's Gentleman Jack livery is perhaps the sharpest on the grid this year. It's not easy to make these cars look good, but (IMO) that livery makes that car look great.

The start was on Fox again. They did promote it pretty heavily during the Barrett-Jackson auction.
I don't think I've ever seen so many cars finish a 24 hour race on the lead lap.racing-reference.info/showblog?id=1785

Fantastic race. Is this the first victory for Brumos ever? I remember that they lost in Montreal last year in an absurd way. Now they didn't - good for them
