DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- The leaderboard at Daytona International Speedway looked very familiar in the early hours of this weekend's Rolex 24 at Daytona sports car season-opener.

While Fords dominated the qualifying session and led the 44-car field to the green flag, a couple of of former winning teams quickly found their way through the steady rain and puddled 3.56-mile road course to establish the early pace of the race.

Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates, which won an unprecedented three consecutive Rolex 24s from 2006-2008, held the point at the six-hour mark.
