It’s no secret that race tracks are some of my favorite places to be, but I truly don’t think anything quite compares to race tracks at night. This past weekend, I attended the 2024 Rolex 24 with a few missions in mind: Stick it out for 24 hours, have tons of fun, and peruse the pit lane at night. As the sun set on the track, I grabbed my camera and headed out to see the action up close — and I’m here to share the results with you!
Big “me and who?” vibes.
I’m sure that’ll buff out.
I’m not going to quote the iconic “Rush” (2013) line about Ferrari.
I was shocked by how tight the pit lane was at DIS — and how busy it was at around 9 pm.
You gotta nap where you can.
I loved how some teams really integrated their spare parts into the overall pit box design.
I apologize to this gentleman for snatching his photo but he looked comfy as heck.
Ready.
Some pit boxes looked way comfier than others.
If you’re not napping on the fuel canisters, are you even at a 24-hour race?
Roger Penske won his first Rolex 24 since 1969. Wild.
It was a rough weekend for Acura.
I could watch crews service tires all night.
I’m absolutely not doing it.
She’s the kindest greatest coolest nicest most wonderful human being.
Feat. Cheez-Its.
I love watching crews do their thing.
Snooter.
I just want Sheena Monk to tell me what everything means.
(With a little bit of green.)
I don’t know what Ranch Resort is, but it sounds like a good time.
Novel storage solutions out here in Daytona.
Checking out these cars glittering at night was one of my favorite parts of the weekend.
A little boy next to me lost his absolute mind over this car.
I lost my mind over this bad boy.
One of the greatest parts of the Daytona weekend.
I simply couldn’t be bothered to wait in line for tickets, but this ferris wheel is lovely.
Mario!
That’s Ferdinand Zvonimir Maria Balthus Keith Michael Otto Antal Bahnam Leonhard von Habsburg-Lothringen to you.
My failure to focus here really made this bad boy pop.
