‘We open with the Super Bowl’: The work behind Daytona’s 24-hour endurance race

The Rolex 24 at Daytona is one of the most prestigious endurance races on the motorsports calendar, demanding the utmost attention to detail from the staff at Daytona International Speedway (DIS). From the moment preparations begin in the fall to the final check before race day, every aspect of the event is meticulously planned and executed.

One of the key figures behind the scenes is Chris Baynes, DIS’ senior director of facility operations. Baynes recalls his first day on the job, when a crash damaged a section of guardrail during the Rolex 24, leading to a tense moment that required the race to be stopped. This experience set the tone for the high-pressure environment that comes with hosting such a demanding event.

As the race unfolds, the staff at DIS work tirelessly to ensure that everything runs smoothly. From stocking 100-plus refrigerators and freezers with thousands of pounds of food to coordinating the delivery of 2,000 gallons of coffee, every detail is carefully managed. The logistics crew is constantly on the move, checking in on firetrucks and keeping everyone hydrated and fed throughout the 24-hour race.

For many staff members, the Rolex 24 is an endurance race in itself, with little time for rest. Radio chatter is constant, and the need to stay alert and responsive is paramount. Even DIS president Frank Kelleher stays on-site in a motorhome to ensure he is always available.

Despite the challenges of sleep deprivation and constant vigilance, the staff at DIS take pride in their work and the successful execution of the Rolex 24. From ensuring the safety of spectators to keeping the facilities running smoothly, every member of the team plays a critical role in making the event a success.

As the 2025 edition of the Rolex 24 comes to a close, the staff at DIS can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that their hard work has paid off. The race may be over, but the memories of another successful event will live on for years to come.
