| Welcome to 2025! In just two short weeks, we will gather again at Daytona International Speedway for the Roar Before the Rolex 24. And just 23 days from now, the green flag will fly on the 2025 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship with a 24-hour battle on Daytona’s high banks for the 63rd running of the Rolex 24 At Daytona. On behalf of my IMSA teammates, I want to thank you for your hard work and dedication as you prepare for another epic IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season. As part of our ongoing efforts to promote IMSA, I wanted to make you aware of our first preseason network television special airing this Saturday, January 4 at 3 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock. The extra network show will serve as a primer to outline the contenders, manufacturers and key story lines set to comprise the 2025 season, starting with the Rolex 24 At Daytona race and the Roar Before the Rolex 24 test session that precedes it. Thank you in advance for your help in maximizing our audience and opening the year with a strong showing on U.S. network television. This telecast will be the first of two specials that will air this year on NBC. The second will preview the championship battle heading into Motul Petit Le Mans in October, and we will provide details on the date and time for that special when it gets closer. Finally, I just wanted to convey our excitement for what is coming this month and throughout the 2025 season. We’ve got a tremendous field of cars, the best sports car racing drivers and teams in the world, and what is shaping up to be another huge crowd of race fans coming to Daytona. I cannot wait to see you there! Sincerely, John DoonanIMSA President |
