Reigning NASCAR Cup Series champion Chase Elliott will make his Rolex 24 At Daytona debut in January as the fourth driver in the No. 31 Whelen Engineering Cadillac DPi-V.R, as announced Friday by Action Express Racing.
Elliott will join Felipe Nasr, Pipo Derani and Mike Conway behind the wheel of the No. 31 Daytona Prototype international (DPi) entry for the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season opener on the 3.56-mile road course at Daytona International Speedway.
“The Rolex 24 is such a major event, and it’s a race that anybody across any type of motorsports really respects. I think everyone wants to win a (Rolex) watch before their career is over,” Elliott said, referring to the prized timepiece presented to Rolex 24 winners in each class.
