The Rolex 24 at Daytona airs tomorrow on FS1, FS2, imsa.com, and Fox Sports Go. The opening round of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. 55 cars, four classes - Prototype, Prototype Challenge, GT LeMans, and GT Daytona.

Here is the entry list.

http://www.imsa.com/sites/default/fi..._EntryList.pdf

I tried to pick out all of the guys and girls who have CART/IRL/IndyCar experience. I came up with 17. A couple of the names made me shake the rust out of my brain.

Not on the entry list is Rubens Barrichello, who is a late add to the Wayne Taylor Racing Corvette in the P class. So, that means I came up with 16 off of the actual list.

And, of course, IOW fan favorite Kyle Larson will once again be driving for Ganassi in the same class.

Have a go at finding any more drivers who once piloted an IndyCar, and more importantly, enjoy the race.

P:

0 Katherine Legge
2 Scott Sharp
5 Christian Fittipaldi
5 Scott Pruett
10 Rubens Barrichello
31 Simon Pagenaud
37 Nicolas Manassian
60 A.J. Allmendinger
90 Ryan Dalziel
90 Ryan Hunter-Reay
02 Scott Dixon
02 Tony Kanaan


GTLM:

3 Jan Magnussen
66 Sebastien Bourdais
67 Ryan Briscoe
100 Graham Rahal


GTD:

11 Townsend Bell

Right-O. I totally missed Hawksworth in the PC class. I also think they mis-spelled Aleshin's name as it is Mikhail so I skimmed over it - thought it was his brother....?

Good spots, Vukie. We have 21 now.

The GT classes are packed with talent.

I still can only find 21.....

....BUT, like Rubens Barrichello, there might be some late additions. There are quite a few "TBAs" on the entry list.

Just watched qualifications. Without noting spoilers, it was pouring down rain for all four sessions. Should clear by the time the green flag waves.

GT LeMans, Vukie - my favorite class.

The sound of those Corvettes is so awesome.

So the article wrote by Indycar PR is incorrect? Who is on the list of 21? I wonder if some pre-entered either didn't get rides or they had probs in practice?
