After two successful tests at Daytona International Speedway in December and January, Team Sahlen has firmly come to grasps with their new SpeedSource Engineering built Mazda RX-8s. 

For the 2010 ROLEX 24 Hours, Team Sahlen will be racing the #43 Mazda RX-8.  The Driver Line-up will be Joe Sahlen accompanied by Joe, Wayne and Will Nonnamaker.  This 24 Hours marks the 7^th Consecutive Year that Team Sahlen has entered the event and the 4^th consecutive year with this same exact 4 driver line-up. 

"The driving style for the RX-8s is dramatically different than what we were racing last year.  But having 2 tests has really assisted us in getting a handle on the driving style required.  It should be very exciting race.  The GT field is very, very strong this year." - states Wayne Nonnamaker

"24 Hours is a long time, and just making it to the finish is a victory.  Our goal as a team is to stay consistent and make it around to Sunday morning.  Come sunrise on Sunday, there is still a full day of racing on track.  And a key factor will be the crew that continues to execute flawless pit stops."  - states Team Manager Jay Chapman

SPEED TV will cover the race live at the 3 pm start time on January 30^th.
