DAYTONA TEST DAYS ENTRY LIST BOASTS HUGE FIELD AND CHAMPION DRIVERS

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (December 21, 2006) -- Amid the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series presented by Crown Royal Special Reserve teams have been busy putting the finishing touches on their Daytona Prototypes and GT machines, and with good reason. Just four days after the calendar turns from 2006 to 2007, those teams and race cars will be at Daytona International Speedway for the annual Daytona Test Days, scheduled for January 4-6.

A field of 67 Rolex Series machines--including 28 Daytona Prototypes and 39 GT cars--have been entered to participate in Daytona Test Days, many of which will carry at least one champion in some form of motorsport and several carrying established stars in either sports car, stock car and/or open wheel racing.

Rising stars Colin Braun and Michael Valiante, who return to Krohn Racing and Finlay Motorsports, respectively, to make a run at the 2007 championship.  Braun will share the No. 76 Krohn Racing Ford Riley with 2004 Daytona Prototype co-champion Max Papis and former Formula 1 pilot JJ Lehto.
