Dalmas Sets Record

Frenchman Yannick Dalmas broke the Daytona International Speedway qualifying record to take the pole for this weekend’s Rolex 24-Hours of Daytona.

Dalmas took his Team Scandia Ferrari 333 SP around the 3.56-mile road circuit in 1 minute, 39.195 seconds, averaging 129.20 mph. That broke the record set last year by Spaniard Fermin Velez, who drove one of the Scandia Ferraris to the pole with a lap of 127.578.
