Felipe Nasr and Porsche Penske Motorsport received the Rolex 24 at Daytona Worldwide Speedway for the third consecutive yr on Sunday, however it was Mom Nature who arguably had probably the most spectacular achievement within the 24-hour endurance race.
Heavy fog that rolled into Daytona Seaside late Saturday evening lingered into Sunday morning, making it extraordinarily tough for drivers and spotters to see. That led to an prolonged warning interval that ended up being the longest yellow within the historical past of the race at six hours, 33 minutes and 25 seconds.
That equated to 120 laps being run beneath warning on the three.56-mile street course configuration at Daytona.
Connor Zilisch shares his ideas
Connor Zilisch, a 2026 NASCAR Cup Collection rookie driving the No. 31 Cadillac, was within the automobile for nearly 4 hours throughout the prolonged warning interval.
“It is simply boring,” Zilisch told Fox Sports’ Bob Pockrass. “Not a lot else to say about it. In all probability a few of the most depressing hours I’ve ever had within a race automobile.”
