When looking for favorites, one need look no further than Chip Ganassi Racing, which brings a three-car assault to Daytona. In addition to the No. 01 machine, NASCAR star Jamie McMurray, former Formula 1 and Champ Car pilot Stefan Johansson and former Rolex Series GT champion Cort Wagner will provide a formidable challenge in the No. 02 New Century Mortgage Lexus Riley. The team’s No. 03 Target-sponsored Lexus Riley also features a power-packed lineup with 2003 IRL IndyCar Series champion Scott Dixon sharing the ride with his IndyCar teammate Darren Manning and NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series driver Casey Mears
