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

Porsche is coming off its first victory of 2008 with the #86 Farnbacher Loles Racing Porsche GT3 driven by Eric Lux and Leh Keen, who will be part of a two-car line-up. Farnbacher Loles also entered the #87 driven by Bryce Miller and Dirk Werner. Team owner Kevin Buckler, the 2003 overall winner of the Rolex 24, has entered four Porsche GT3s under the TRG umbrella, including the #66 of Andy Lally and Ted Ballou and the #67 of Tim George Jr. and Spencer Pumpelly.

There have been a number of changes in the GT Paddock since Mid-Ohio. Terry Borcheller, the 2003 Daytona Prototype champion, will join Tim Lewis Jr. in the #72 Autohaus Motorsports Pontiac GXP.R after the recent departure of Lawson Aschenbach. In addition, frequent NASCAR competitor Boris Said will be driving the #34 Orbit Racing Porsche GT3. Said has seven Rolex Series victories, including six in the GT class.

Ryan Phinny led a GT race-high 30 laps at Mid-Ohio, and he and co-driver Diego Alessi are looking for their second straight podium after finishing third in the #21 Matt Connolly Motorsports Pontiac GTO.R.
