DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (January 14, 2008) -- The Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series presented by Crown Royal Cask No. 16 will continue its relationship with SPEED for 2008, with the motorsports channel broadcasting 62.5 hours of Rolex Series competition in the U.S., Canada and Mexico and the Rolex Series broadcast around the world on a variety of major networks - complete with the Rolex Series debut in high-definition television.
Beginning with an opening 90 minutes of the Rolex 24 At Daytona broadcast over-the-air by FOX Sports and topped by an additional 15.5 hours of coverage of the race on the cable network, SPEED cameras will roll at all 15 events on the Rolex Series calendar.
