The winning moment will be announced at the 2010 Rolex Championship Banquet presented by SunTrust on Monday, Sept. 13, at the Aria Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nev.

The 2010 nominees are:

  • Victory Lane "Action" at Daytona
    Action Express Racing won its debut race, the Rolex 24 At Daytona, with Joao Barbosa holding off Scott Pruett by 52 seconds to win America's most prestigious endurance race. It was also the first victory for a Porsche V-8 engine in international 24-hour competition. Terry Borcheller, Ryan Dalziel and Mike Rockenfeller also co-drove the No. 9 Porsche/Riley.

  • Turner Aces Crash Course
    Turner Motorsport came back from an accident that forced them to miss the Sahlen's Six Hours of The Glen to score its first Rolex Series victory only two weeks later. Bill Auberlen and Joey Hand co-drove the No. 94 BMW M6.

  • Record-Setters - And Champions
    Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas made Rolex Series history by winning their eighth race of the season in the Montreal 200 in the No. 01 BMW/Riley - clinching their second Daytona Prototype title in three seasons. Chip Ganassi Racing also wrapped up its fourth team title since 2004.

Two weeks later, the team had a Ford/Dallara ready for Mid-Ohio, where Michael Valiante and Brian Frisselle finished fourth, two positions behind teammates Ozz Negri and John Pew in the No. 60 Crown Royal XR Ford/Riley.
