David Donohue and Darren Law out to break duck at Daytona.

David Donohue and Darren Law have been one of the hottest combinations in the Daytona Prototype paddock in the #58 Brumos Racing Porsche Riley. Now, they are looking to break through with a victory in their sponsor's home race, the Brumos Porsche 250 at Daytona International Speedway, round nine of the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series.

Over the past three races, Brumos Racing has been knocking on the door. Donohue and Law followed up a fifth-place finish at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca with runner-up showings at Watkins Glen International and Mid-Ohio. Donohue is the only driver in the Rolex Series with multiple pole positions in 2008. His Mid-Ohio pole was his third of this season.

“Winning the Brumos Porsche 250 would be a fitting place to bring home our first victory in many years,” said Donohue, who has three Daytona Prototype victories but none since the 2003 Sahlen's Six Hours of The Glen.

“It's been a lot of effort from a lot of people, and I know Bob (former team owner Bob Snodgrass) is looking down, very proud of us. Standing on the top step in Gatorade Victory Lane would be a big feather in our cap. It's something we're all pushing hard for. That second step is completely unsatisfying for everybody on the team, because we've all put forth a winning effort already. We're not going to luck into a win. When we win, it will be overdue and deserved. Our guys at Brumos Racing are tenacious; they've never let up.”

Law took the chequered flag at Mid-Ohio behind the #99 GAINSCO/Bob Stallings Racing Pontiac Riley of Alex Gurney and Jon Fogarty, giving that team its first victory of 2008 after struggling since finishing second in the Rolex 24. Last year, Gurney and Fogarty scored their third consecutive victory of the campaign in the Brumos Porsche 250, beginning a surge that would lead the duo to the Daytona Prototype championship.
