DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Filipe Albuquerque didn't want to think about what happened to him as the leader the last two years in the Rolex 24 At Daytona.
But he couldn't help himself. As much as the Action Express Cadillac driver didn't want to live in the past, he couldn't avoid it. Both his teammates had already won overall victories in the 24-hour sports-car race on the 3.56-mile Daytona International Speedway road course, which kicks off the IMSA season, but he had yet to seal the deal.
He has had his chances. Albuquerue saw his lead in 2016 end with a driveshaft issue.
