A Riley & Scott Mark III, co-driven by team-owner Rob Dyson, splashed to victory with Butch Leitzinger behind the wheel Sunday in the Rolex 24 at Daytona International Speedway.
Also taking their turns -- and enduring the worst of the weather -- were Elliott Forbes-Robinson and Englishman Andy Wallace. The winners covered 708 laps -- 2,520.48 miles -- on the 3.56-mile course. They averaged 104.9 mph.
A team that included Las Vegan Jimmy Vasser finished third in a Ferrari, 14 laps behind the winners.
