Scott Pruett says sensible diet, patience are key at Rolex 24

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Scott Pruett knows a thing or two or 100 about the Rolex 24 at Daytona, a 24-hour sports car race that kicks off the international motorsports schedule.

He first competed in the Rolex 24 At Daytona in 1985. He will compete for the 28th time in the 2018 version, which will be the last time he competes as a race car driver.

Some drivers might want to go out with a little easier, less grueling affair. But the 57-year-old Pruett, who has won the race five times, can't think of a more appropriate setting to leave.
