In addition, 20 points will be awarded to both the driver who wins the pole and the driver with the fastest race lap.
At the end of the season, the driver who accumulates the most points will be awarded with a driving spot in a Daytona Prototype, along with flight and accommodations for the 2011 Rolex 24 At Daytona. In addition, the winner of the challenge will participate in the January Test Days. Sunoco will provide race fuel for the prize winner’s Daytona Prototype throughout the Rolex 24 weekend and test.
