A video from Monday Night Raw of El Torito celebrating Cinco de Mayo with Diego and Fernando before being attacked by Hornswoggle, Heath Slater, Jinder Mahal and Drew McIntyre.
May 6, 2014
During the Extreme Rules 2014 kickoff match, El Torito defeated Hornswoggle. He picked up the pin fall victory after jumping off the top rope and driving Hornswoggle through the table. Miniature tables and ladders were utilized during the WeeLC match. Diego, Fernando, Heath Slater, Jinder Mahal and Drew McIntyre were all involved in the match.
May 4, 2014
In an action filled Wrestlemania 30 kickoff match, Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso retained the WWE tag team championship by defeating Diego, Fernando, Curtis Axel, Ryback, Jack Swagger and Antonio Cesaro in a fatal four way elimination tag team bout. Afterwards, Cesaro did a face turn after Swagger attempted to attack him for being pinned.
April 6, 2014
Rumor has it that there are several people backstage in WWE that are disappointed with how Antonio Cesaro is being utilized at Wrestlemania 30. Instead of being given a big singles match on the pay per view, he is working a kickoff match with Jack Swagger. It also features Jimmy Usu, Jey Uso, Fernando, Diego, Ryback and Curtis Axel.
April 4, 2014
Initially, the belief was that the tag team championships were going to be given some spotlight by WWE at their biggest pay per view of the year, but it has now been announced that Ryback, Curtis Axel, Fernando, Diego, Antonio Cesaro, Jack Swagger, Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso are being moved to the Wrestlemania 30 kickoff match spot.
April 1, 2014
When Carlos Colon was announced as an inductee into the WWE hall of fame at Wrestlemania 30, some were under the belief that Diego and Fernando would be receiving a little push in order to promote the induction. However, it is much too late to do that, so management might simply put the two of them into the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal match instead.
March 19, 2014
While nothing has been made official yet in regards to who will be inducting Carlos Colon, Carlito has revealed that he will be definitely be at Wrestlemania 30 to watch his father being inducted into the hall of fame that weekend. The belief is that WWE will have the former US champion, Diego and Fernando all inducting Colon in the segment.
March 18, 2014
Since the company is expected to have Carlito, Diego and Fernando all inducting Carlos Colon into the hall of fame at Wrestlemania 30, there are talks that WWE could try to convince the former United States Heavyweight Champion to make his return as an in ring performer. The Los Matadores gimmick has not exactly drawn in the fans, so the trio could be paired together.
March 17, 2014
Even though he did not leave the company on the best of terms, Carlito is said to be returning to WWE at Wrestlemania 30 to induct his father Carlos Colon into the hall of fame. The belief is that his brother Diego and his cousin Fernando will also be a part of the induction ceremony as well. The induction announcement for Colon will be made during Smackdown this Friday.
March 13, 2014
Since management wanted to test out the developmental wrestlers to see if they were ready to be called up to the main roster, the Ascension, a tag team consisting of Conor OBrian and Rick Victor, were given a match against Diego and Fernando at the big live event in New York City this weekend. WWE even paired Vickie Guerrero up with them. Unfortunately, though, the crowd was silent and indifferent towards the duo, thus hurting their chances of being promoted.
March 9, 2014
Many within WWE have already chalked up the El Torito gimmick as a bust. Management were hoping that he could help elevate Diego and Fernando, but the audience has simply not connected with the trio. Torito will be kept around, though, as his contract is reasonably priced and kids at live events seem to enjoy his presence.
February 19, 2014
It looks like Antonio Cesaro might be in the doghouse with WWE, as the former ROH star was recently booked in a surprising loss during a singles match against Fernando, a performer that is rarely featured on Monday Night Raw or Smackdown.
January 13, 2014
Los Matadores defeated Jack Swagger and Antonio Cesaro at Hell in a Cell after the masked duo hit their tag team finisher on Swagger.

Washington, D.C. – American Gas Association President and CEO, Dave McCurdy, today congratulated President Obama and Vice President Biden on their victorious campaign, releasing the following statement:
"From its role in economic development to what it means for our national security, President Obama has recognized the many benefits of natural gas, and AGA looks forward to continuing to work with his Administration and the 113th Congress to bring the many benefits of this foundation fuel to America.
"It is only through smart, efficient policies and coordination with policy makers at all levels that we will be able to meet our nation's energy goals, and there is no doubt natural gas has a significant role in our energy future. The President has advanced policies to help realize the realities of what this domestic fuel can do for our nation, but there is still significant room for greater use of natural gas to help meet our nation's energy goals.
"America's natural gas utilities operate the 21st century infrastructure necessary for delivering the benefits of natural gas to American homes and businesses safely, reliably and at affordable prices. Our nation has an unprecedented domestic supply of natural gas that can meet our current and even increased demands at reasonable and relatively stable prices. Natural gas utilities can make the most of this promise by working with customers and local policy makers to leverage the efficient use of natural gas in thermal applications, expand access to natural gas vehicle fueling infrastructure, increase the use of combined heat and power technologies, and explore how micro-grids can help communities address their energy needs. We want to make sure all Americans have access to this domestic fuel.
"Greater recognition of the benefits of natural gas in federal and state regulation, legislation, building energy codes, appliance standards and energy policy initiatives will open new doors to increased energy efficiency and energy security and we look forward to working with President Obama, Vice President Biden and the 113th Congress to advance these goals for our nation and its citizens."

Good deal on this TV. They ran this at a similar price during BF.

It really depends on the seller. this is from Newegg which only charges tax for the following states. CA(7.5%), NJ*(7.0%), TN*(9.25%).
I recently bought the 55LM4600 from Costco for $699 (Sams may have been a bit cheaper). I am pretty much happy with it. I I bought a LM7600 and returned it, as I hated the slow SmartApps and changing inputs, and the REMOTE was driving me nuts. The 4600 has a dumb remote and works great.
How do these compare to this Vizio?
ArmchairQB ( 73 ) Mar. 18, 2013 at 10:23am
I have this set and like it. Although I am having a hard time finding 3D content; Netflix does not ship 3D blu-ray or stream 3D, Amazon Prime does not appear to have any 3D movies, as far as I know DISH does not have any 3D. I do not want to buy 3D movies for $20 just to watch them one time, although I am considering doing so with Avatar just to actually use the 3D.

WASHINGTON - Police and emergency crews responded to a mass casualty incident in Northeast D.C. Tuesday.
A multi-car accident at the intersection of New York Avenue and Brentwood Parkway just before noon sent nine people to the hospital, including five children.
A spokesperson for D.C. Fire and Emergency Medical Services tells WTOP at least two of the victims were in serious but not life-threatening condition.
D.C. police also tweeted this photo of the scene:

Week in ReligionWhile 30 percent of Americans feel religion is largely old fashioned and outdated, a majority believe otherwise. In a Gallup poll conducted in May, 57 percent of respondents indicated that religion can answer all or most of today�s problems.The question has been asked by Gallup multiple times since it was first queried in 1957. In that initial poll, 82 percent of Americans believed in the problem-solving of religion, while only 7 percent felt it was outdated.

The Communal Table is far from private, but it is a great option for after work functions or birthday celebrations. Right in the center of all the action is where the Communal Table is located, but its fun to be the center of attention from time to time. A fallen tree, turned into a piece of art.
The Cheval Room is the perfect sized space for large dinner parties of 50-100. It has it's own speakers, with audio hook-ups, if you are looking to play your own music during a reception of up to 150. There is a built in buffet line which can be utilized or hidden during events in the Cheval Room.
The Morgan Room is such a lovely space which a picture can't fully capture. The floor-to-ceiling walls makes the room come alive with it's beauty. There is also a curtain that can be pulled for a full private dining event. It is wonderful for group dinners and equally as entertaining for receptions.

2. High output 3D projector
Like the first suggestion, you can improve your lights-on experience by upgrading your old projector with a new, high-brightness one. Just five years ago projectors with light outputs of 800 ANSI lumens were the norm. Now reasonably priced projectors from companies like Epson, Panasonic and Mitsubishi put out light cannon images in the 2,400 lumen range, and that's for $3,000 or less. What does that light do for you? Aside from making the picture bright enough to see with moderate room lighting, it also can help make the image considerably more vibrant.
And don't worry about all that extra light producing an overly pale image. New projectors have dramatically improved in black level as well as overall image processing.
Panasonic's PTAE8000 LCD projector is rated at 2,400 lumens.
Here's one more reason you need a brighter projector—3D. Producing a good 3D image requires more light output (because the glasses cut back on some of the light). Usually the brighter the projector, the better the 3D picture.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Virginia State Parks officials are inviting residents to welcome the new year in the outdoors.
Guided hikes will be offered Jan. 1 at Douthat State Park in Millboro, James River State Park in Gladstone, Shenandoah River State Park in Bentonville, and Sky Meadows State Park in Delaplane.
The afternoon hike of less than a mile at Douthat State Park will conclude with a campfire and refreshments. A 2-mile hike at Shenandoah River State Park will include scenic views of the river.
The Sky Meadows tour is 2.5 miles long, while the James River walk is for as short or as long as visitors want.

Dear Public Agency Council Member:
As you are aware by now, California has become the first state in the nation to adopt a statewide Green Building Code, known as CALGreen. It is composed of several parts. The basic CALGreen code, which is mandatory, must be adopted by all local jurisdictions prior to January 1, 2011. Optional portions for adoption include Tier 1 and Tier 2; these each include a series of measures that go beyond the basic CALGreen code, also referred to as 'reach codes'.
As your local government considers how to adopt the new code, Build It Green would like to offer recommendations developed in conjunction with the Bay Area Climate Collaboration, a public-private initiative launched by the mayors of San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose to accelerate the clean energy economy and make the Bay Area a national model.
Please review the recommendation letter and accompanying documents here. They can be found under the CALGreen heading.
Build It Green is also collaborating with other organizations throughout the state (including the American Institute of Architects/California Council; the US Green Building Council; the AIA/San Francisco Chapter; San Francisco Department of the Environment and Alameda County's StopWaste.org) to develop and distribute additional comparison documents and provide education to the industry. This collaboration, Green Building Code Educational Collaborative, met with the state agencies that created and published the new code (the California Building Standards Commission-CBSC and Housing and Community Development-HCD), to discuss potential clarifications of the CALGreen Tiers 1 and 2 relative to the established 3rd party programs of LEED (USGBC) and GreenPoint Rated (Build It Green).
The comparison documents formulated through the Green Building Code Educational Collaborative will be distributed within the next week and will be available on Build It Green's website.
Build It Green and the other members of the collaborative laud the CBSC, HCD and the State of California for adopting CALGreen. We fully support the basic code and look forward to its ability to raise the bar further for green building in our state.
In addition, we are pleased to announce that the GreenPoint Rated New Home checklists have been modified to better align with CALGreen and respond to our multiple stakeholder needs. The GreenPoint Rated Checklist now incorporates these code required (mandatory) measures to facilitate compliance with the code and to allow for verification of the code by GreenPoint Raters upon jurisdictional approval. The modified Checklist will allow the enforcing agency to easily verify compliance with CALGreen for projects utilizing the GreenPoint Rated Checklist and third party verification. Download the Checklists from our website.
We appreciate your consideration of these well-vetted recommendations. Please feel free to contact either me or Tenaya Asan here at Build It Green if we can be of further assistance or answer any questions you may have.

His quartet here features the amazing Scott LaFaro on bass, and a young Ed Blackwell on drums – both of whom give the tracks an amazing pulse that brings new energy out of Ornette and Don Cherry's solos – working in a modal groove that's as catchy as it is modern! All tracks are named after initials of titles of books by Sigmund Freud, including "T & T" (Totem & Taboo), "C&D"(Civilization and Discontent), "W.R.U.", and "R.P.D.D.".

The Black Keys are a rock duo straight out of the heartland. Recipients of several Grammy Awards, the Keys have sold over two million albums in the US alone since the release of their initial album "The Big Come Up." While not a major commercial success, singles "I'll Be Your Man" and "Breaks" would be used in TV and film in later years. The band's follow-up album "Thickfreakness" garnered positive reviews from critics and led to several singles being used yet again in film and TV. Though mildly successful, the Keys hadn't yet reached the pinnacle of their achievements. To continue to support their musical endeavors the band took to the road on tour with alternative, riot girl band Sleater-Kinney. At that point Black Keys tickets were a virtual steal considering their growing fame.
By the release of their third album "Rubber Factory," the Black Keys began to see themselves climb onto the charts in the US and abroad; signaling the beginning of their rise to stardom. Shortly afterward the band embarked on tour opening for acts such as Pearl Jam and Radiohead. Subsequent albums "Magic Potion," "Attack & Release" and "Brothers" all charted successfully, with each album hitting higher on the charts than the one before. In 2009 the band released "Blakroc," a collaborative album with hip hop and rap artists like Mos Def and Ludacris. "El Camino," the band's seventh release, grabbed the number two position on the US charts just after its release. The sky is the limit for this talented duo.
As their popularity grows, so does the demand for Black Keys concert tickets. With accolades pouring in from critics, fans and the general music community it's no wonder they are selling to sold out crowds everywhere. Don't miss your opportunity to see the dynamic duo live in concert; purchase your Black Keys tickets now!

I bought these boots for hiking at the Grand Canyon and surrounding areas. They are awesome! They were comfortable on my feet and I had no problems with slipping on the steep trails even in areas with loose gravel and sand.
These boots are awesome! They are very comfortable, spacious toe box, great ankle support, and especially for the price they are a great buy!Im on my second pair of these and I will continue to buy them in the future.
These boots are hands down one of my all time favorites. These boots are extremely comfortable, very supportive, they give great ancle support, and especially for the price these boots are well worth it!I am now on my second pair and will continue to buy them.
The last time I scaled a 14er was 34 years ago when I was much younger. This summer, I joined a group of guys to climb 14ers in Colorado. I spent a solid week looking online at reviews and all sorts of boots and hiking shoes was a bit overwhelmed by all the options. Finally, I made a short list of what was most important to me which included: waterproof (hate wet feet); had to support my ankles (sports injury from years ago); had to be comfortable as I was going to spend several hours on rocky terrain; and reasonably priced. I narrowed my list down to three shoes: Keen Targhee Mid II, North Face Havoc Mid STX/XCR and Pategonia Drifter AC Mid Waterproof. Ultimately, I settled on the Keen Targhee Mid II as it felt best on my foot walking around my home. The real test would be the mountains. Three days of hiking 14ers in rain, sleet, hail, sun and climbing bolders, navigating scree, water, mud proved the right choice. Light on my feet, no blisters and great grip on rocks.
These boots are my first pair of Keens and I'm hooked! They have become my daily wear since I got them and have taken the beating well. I had to give myself a high five for buying these bad boys.
They are extremely comfortable and after one day breaking them in they feel great, and feel ready to get out to the trails. Great ankle support and ventilate decently regardless of them being waterproof! Totally recommend.
I am one of those people who like to have a single pair of shoes for everything, so I pretty much wore these boots non-stop for a year and three months. For everyday wear and backpacking trips, including an eight day through hike with ~40lb pack, these boots proved to be comfortable and had good traction in every situation I wore them in. They are excellent for my wide feet. The only knock I have after wearing the crap out of them is the lace loops (keeps them from 5 stars). The webbed lace loops don't hold up like the rest of the shoe, and were the reason I had to retire them. If the lace loops wouldn't have failed me, I am confident they would have lasted a couple more months.
My husband needed some hiking boots for our trip to Acadia National Park in Maine. I have the women's version of these boots and adore them so I obviously tricked him into getting these exact boots despite letting him try on some other top brands at the mall. He usually wears size 10.5 in all his other running and dress shoes, but we found going up a 1/2 size in these was ideal and worked great with some nice wool hiking socks. He loves them and says they are nice and roomy, comfortable, and didn't need to be broken in before climbing around Acadia.

LIVE from the Rolex 24 At Daytona
Posted on: January 24, 2014 | Comments(33) | 24 Hours of Daytona, Drivers, Flickr, New Media |
Sunday – Jan.26 – 2:10pm
Checkered flag for another Rolex 24 and another INDYCAR champion in Daytona. Sebastien Bourdais and his ActionExpress Racing teammates drove an incredible race and it paid off. They are the 2014 Rolex 24 At Daytona champions. Now, in 6 of the last 11 years an INDYCAR driver has been on the winning team at the twice-round the clock classic in Florida.
Overall, what an event. Tons of incredible action and every single one of the INDYCAR drivers performed well. Unfortunately, as is often the case in endurance racing, the cars didn't hold up. Here's how the drivers representing the IndyCar Series finished in the 2014 Rolex 24:
- Sebastien Bourdais – P1 Overall, P1 Prototype Class
- Simon Pagenaud – P11 Overall, P7 Prototype Class
- Ryan Hunter-Reay – P12 Overall, P3 GTLM Class
- Graham Rahakl – P14 Overall, P4 GTLM Class
- Scott Dixon/Tony Kanaan – P15 Overall, P8 Prototype Class
- Mikhail Aleshin – P21 Overall, P4 GTD Class
- Sage Karam – P43 Overall, P11 Prototype Class
- Justin Wilson – P47 Overall, P12 Prototype Class
- James Davidson – P48 Overall, P22 GTD Class
- Tristan Vautier – P56 Overall, P13 Prototype Class
- James Hinchcliffe – P57 Overall, P14 Prototype Class
- Conor Daly/Alex Tagliani – P58 Overall, P8 LMPC Class
- Gabby Chaves – P61 Overall, P16 Prototype Class
- Sebastian Saavedra/EJ Viso – P62 Overall, P17 Prototype Class
We're still buzzing a bit from that finish. More importantly, we can't wait for the start of the INDYCAR season.
We'll have quotes and updates from Sebastien in just a few minutes.
Sunday – Jan. 26 – 1:45pm
Just about 25 minutes remain and the #5 being co-driven by Sebastien Bourdais currently leads the Rolex 24. Sebastien drove a very fast stint to put the car up front and Joao has been the model consistency since he jumped in the car. It's looking more and more like we're going to see another victory by an INDYCAR driver at the Rolex 24. Dixon and his #02 teammates were having another strong run as well. Unfortunately, the floor of the car began to unravel and it was considered unrepairable. Apparently, Dixon could see the track surface beneath his feet. Crazy!
It's going to be a fight to the finish. The top two cars are only 10 seconds apart and you can be sure the #10 being driven by Max Angelelli is pushing as hard as possible!
Sunday – Jan.26 – 12:35pm
We're officially under two hours remaining in the race. What does that mean? Aggression! These drivers are pushing the cars to their absolute limits in order to make a charge to the front and the potential win. Currently Sebastien Bourdais leads the field in the #5 ActionExpress DP. 2013 INDYCAR Champion Scott Dixon is back behind the wheel of the #0 and is turnining some of the fastest laps on the track. He's currently listed as 1 lap down. If a caution comes out, Scott could potentially get his lap back and be in contention for the victory. Ryan Hunter-Reay's #91 Viper is currently 3rd in class and teammate Marc Goosens is driving. Dirk Werner is currently at the helm of the machine he's sharing with INDYCAR star Graham Rahal they are in the 15th position overall, 4th in his class. Justin Wilson is in the seat of the #60 but is currently P47 overall.
It's bound to be an incredible finish. Don't miss these final 90 minutes!
Sunday – Jan.26 – 11:07am
Sage Karam just recently turned the car back over to Scott Pruett and stopped by the media center to chat. He mentioned that prior to the start of the race he'd only had 1 hour in the car. He spent roughly 6 hours in the car across his two stints this weekend. Driving these cars require heavy focus and Sage told us that he was so focused on his pit stop/drive change and hitting his marks that he forgot to undo his belts to get out of the car. This was Sage's first experience with pit stops, sports car racing, sharing cars with teammates, and a car with a roof. Needless to say, it was a big learning experience for Sage. He did a great job during his stints and this young driver is sure to have a great career ahead. He's excited to have got the opportunity to work with Chip Ganassi Racing this weekend is hopeful that an opportunity will present itself for him to have a full-time ride in 2014.
Sunday – Jan.26 – 10:45am
Just over 3 hours remain in the Rolex 24. The pace continues to increase as we approach the final laps of this event. Sebastien Bourdais just climbed in the #5 and is dealing with a clutch/gearbox issue. His teammate Christian Fittipaldi said it was an issue but was manageable. Sebastien's pace doesn't appear to be effected by the issue. Indianapolis 500 Champion, Tony Kanaan is in the 4th position about a minute behind Bourdais. Ryan Hunter-Reay is running in the 4th position in the GTLM class, he's looking strong in these last hours. Sage Karam is back in the #01 and after several issues over the night they're in the 9th position in the Prototype class. A full-course caution has just been waved after the #18 GTD Porsche spun in turn 2. Make sure you tune in and follow along here to see the sprint to the finish!
Sunday – Jan.26 – 7:30am
The sun is out. The cars are green. There's been no cautions for fog. All in all, a fantastic start to the last hours of daylight for the Rolex 24. The INDYCAR drivers continue to make fans proud. Currently Scott Dixon sits in the 2nd position in the #02. Simon Pagenaud is running P19, Vautier P52, Hinchcliffe P55 (out of the race), Saavedra P58 (out of the race). Ryan Briscoe and his beautiful #3 Chevrolet Corvette C7.R made the tough decision to call it quits overnight due to an overheating motor. Conor Daly and Alex Tagliani unfortunately retired from the race after teammate Rusty Mitchell made contact with the barrier. James Davison is behind the wheel of the #007 and is in 47th position.
We've taken a brief nap, changed clothes, and had a fresh cup of coffee. We're ready to dive back into the coverage of this twice-around the clock classic. The pace is picking up and racing is become more ruthless. Drivers aren't as patient or passive as they were in the past 18 hours. It's sure to be battle to the end. Who's your pick for victory?
Sunday – Jan.26 – 1:32am
We're just shy of the half-way point and it's been quite an experience so far. We've seen a massive accident, several multiple car accidents, debris scattered all over the track and a total of 9 full-course cautions. Currently, we're operating under a caution after the #87 spun off the track and subsequently caught fire.
INDYCAR drivers continue to showcase just how talented they all are. Scott Dixon was listed as the leader prior to this caution. He exited the pits after a yellow flag pit stop in P4 overall. Ryan Briscoe is behind the wheel of the #3 Chevrolet Corvette C7.R and sits in P14 Overall, P5 in the GTLM class. We did just receive a report that they are dealing with a water leak and have made several pit stops since the yellow came out. Alex Tagliani is back behind the wheel after Conor Daly completed a 3 hour stint. Currently the #08 is in P28 overall and P6 in the GTLM class. Simon Pagenaud is on-track again and is currently running in P37 Overall and P9 in the Prototype class. Tristan Vautier and Sebastien Saavedra are in P57 and 58 respectively.
We inch closer and closer to the half-way point and there's a ton of action still to go. We're still going strong and will continue to update you through the night.
Saturday – Jan.25 – 8:38pm
As promised, here's the quick update regarding Gidley and Malucelli… both of the drivers have been admitted to the local hospital here in Daytona. They are awake and communicative. As more information is made available we will pass it along.
Saturday – Jan.25 – 8:11pm
2013 Indianapolis 500 Champion, Tony Kanaan, just stopped by the media center after his impressive stint in the #02. Tony had some issues at the start of his stint but stated that he decided that he at least had to return the car in the same position as it was when got in. The result was a spirited charge to the front of the pack that featured some outside passes and very close, wheel-to-wheel racing. Tony truly is one of the greatest drivers, not only in INDYCAR, but in any car. He mentioned that he'd only had a few laps prior to his stint in the race tonight and that he felt there was quite a bit of pressure as his teammates were all successful endurance racers. He also let everyone know that Chip told him, "Unless a meteor hits the car, everything else would be my fault." That received quite the round of laughter from the crowd here in the media center. Tony is someone to keep an eye on over the next 18 hours. He's made it clear he's going to be extremely aggressive behind the wheel. After their pit stop, and subsequent driver change, the car sits in the P8 position with Kyle Larson in the seat.
Saturday – Jan.25 – 7:37pm
Graham Rahal just swung through the media center to update everyone on his stint. He mentioned that adapting to this style of racing has been an interesting experience for him. Traction control which is not a feature of the INDYCAR, is something the drivers utilize heavily in sports car racing. Graham stated that he's used to using his right foot to control the car and it's taken a bit of time to get used to leaning on the traction control. He mentioned that the cars were much heavier than the IndyCar's that he's typically used to driving and it doesn't quite suit his driving style. However, he said that he's been having a blast at the wheel of the #56 BMW. He's hoping that the Viper's have some trouble over the next few hours as they seem to have the most outright speed. He'll be back in the car later this evening for a longer stint of night driving. He'll get about a 3 hour break and then he'll jump back in for another 3 hour stint. His team is currently running P6 in the GTLM class.
Saturday – Jan.25 – 7:00pm
We're fully back into racing and it seems with every second there's something new developing on-track. Most recently, the Delta Wing, currently being driven by Indy Lights runner-up Gabby Chavez, had a brief off and nosed the car into the tire barriers. They quickly returned to the pits and changed out the nose bodywork on the car and are back on-track. They currently are running in the 15th position in the Prototype class.
Indy 500 champ, Tony Kanaan, is currently giving chase to the leader from the 2nd position. Justin Wilson is in the seat for Michael Shank Racing and is making a charge from the 6th position. Viso, in the #78, is holding steady in the 9th position, one lap down.
The circuit is currently under a full-course yellow condition after a spin by the #09 LMPC spinning in the International Horseshoe. The #09 is the sister car to the #08 being driven by Alex Tagliani and Conor Daly. They currently are in the 24th position overall and are running 4th in their class. Unfortunately, Conor's team was penalized due to an improper pass during the wave-around after the red flag situation earlier.
We're heading back out to grab some more photos from the evening. We'll be back with those and quotes from the steady stream of drivers we'll begin to see in the media center here shortly. Tweet us your questions or leave them below and we'll do our best to answer them!
Saturday – Jan.25 – 6:00pm
After an extended red flag for the accident earlier involving Memo Gidley and Malucelli, we're approaching a return to green flag racing. We can't provide much of an update other than that both drivers have been transported to the local hospital. When more information is passed along we'll be sure to include it in an update.
As we prepare to return to racing here's a run down of where the INDYCAR drivers and their teams are currently positioned:
- Sebastien Bourdais – P1 Overall (Fittipaldi is behind the wheel at this time).
- Tony Kanaan – P2 Overall
- Saavedra/Viso – P4 Overall
- Sage Karam – P6 Overall (Rojas is in the car).
- Ryan Hunter-Reay – P11 Overall, P1 in GTLM Class (Farnbacher is in the car).
- Conor Daly/Alex Tagliani – P 16 Overall, P1 LMPC Class (Cummings is in the car).
- Ryan Briscoe – P18 Overall, P6 GTLM Class (Garcia is in the car).
- Graham Rahal – P19 Overall, P7 GTLM Class
- James Davison – P51 Overall, P22 GTD Class (Davis is in the car).
Unfortunately, there's not much more to report at the moment. We'll be back with more action in a bit. Don't forget to send us your tweets and show your support for the INDYCAR drivers in the Rolex 24!
Saturday – Jan.25 – 4:15pm
This continues to be one of the more intense starts to the Rolex 24 in recent memory. The #01 car that will soon be driven by Sage Karam came in for a stop earlier. Unfortunately, the car was dropped prior to the left rear wheel being secured and in the chaos the driver made contact with one of the crew members. Thankfully, everyone is ok. An interesting stumble early in the race.
There's been quite a bit of contact as well. None of the INDYCAR drivers have made contact so everyone continues into the late afternoon.
Alex Tagliani is behind the wheel for his first stint in the #08 LMPC. His team appears strong and it should be exciting to see 2013 Indianapolis 500 Rookie, Conor Daly, get behind the wheel later this evening. They are currently leading their class.
Scott Dixon continues to lead the Prototype class in the #02. Graham Rahal's #56 car just entered pit lane for a driver switch and Graham will now be behind the wheel. Currently they sit in 9th position in the GTLM class.
Ryan Briscoe's team is sitting one position ahead of Graham in the 8th position in the GTLM class. James Hinchcliffe is in the #70 LMPC. Unfortunately, the team seems to be struggling and they are currently running in the 62nd overall position.
Saturday – Jan. 25 – 3:15pm
GREEN FLAG! We're off and running. Just over 1 hour into the race. Scott Dixon is still behind the wheel of the #02 and is currently running in 1st position. The ActionExpress Racing DP is running in 9th position, Sebastien Bourdais has not been in the car yet. The #01 car, currently driven by Scott Pruett, that will later feature Sage Karam at the helm is currently running in 11th position overall, roughly 58 seconds behind the leader. The Delta Wing that will later be driven by Gabby Chavez sits in the 1oth position overall, Justin Wilson's teammate, Oz Negri Jr sits directly behind them in the 12th position. The rest of the drivers and their respective teams are in the following positions:
- #70 – Tristan Vautier/James Hinchcliffe – P 61
- #2 – Simon Pagenaud – P44 – Contact with the barrier just a moment ago with Van Overbeek behind the wheel.
- #78 – Sebastian Saavedra/EJ Viso – P11
- #08 – Conor Daly/Alex Tagliani – P16, P4 in LMPC Class
- #3 – Ryan Briscoe – P27 Overall, P8 in GTLM Class
- #56 – Graham Rahal – P30 Overall, P10 in GTLM Class
- #91 – Ryan Hunter-Reay – P18 Overall, P2 in GTLM Class
- #007 – James Davison – P56 Overall, P27 in GTD Class
It's sure to be an exciting race as there has been a ton of action already. Simon Pagenaud's team is working to repair their damage. The INDYCAR group is looking strong with Dixon in the lead. More coming soon!
Saturday – Jan. 25 – 12:45pm
It's almost go time! We're putting our camera equipment together and scouting locations for where we're going to head for the start. There's going to be some great racing at the start of this event (and throughout for that matter. Make sure you're tuned in earlier. Part of the culture of this event is the preparation prior to the start. Not just the cars, the teams and the drivers but the media and fans. We spent some time at Target last night picking up coffee, red bull, sunflower seeds and an assortment of other items to keep us going during the 24hr stint. Now, we want to see your setups and preperation! Marshall Pruett, from RACER.com, posted a tweet earlier today asking you to send us your photos. So, get to sending those in and we'll retweet and reply.
Who's setup and stocked up for 24 hours of racing? 15 Red Bulls? Multi-screen viewing. Send photos our way to @RACERmag @IMS & @IndyCar
— Marshall Pruett (@marshallpruett) January 25, 2014
Speaking of Marshall, he recently did some in-depth research on the new Chevrolet Corvette C7.R. The same car that Ryan Briscoe will be driving in the Rolex 24.
There is some seriously cool technical information contained within his presentation, like the fact that the engine had to be DETUNED from the production model to meet up with the IMSA regulations. That's quite the statement. Head over to Road&Track.com and check out the rest of the presentation now!
Saturday – Jan. 25 – 11:30am
We're creeping closer to the green flag and the excitement is ramping up here at Daytona. There has been a multitude of press conferences in the media center, some vintage track laps, and the autograph session is about to begin. The autograph session is one of the coolest parts of the Rolex 24. All the drivers are lined up in front of their garage with their teammates for a full-field autograph session. It's probably one of the only opportunities you can get autographs from so many champions from so many different series and disciplines in on one location. We'll be posting a few pics later.
One of the questions we've been asked is in regard to which INDYCAR drivers are starting for their respective teams. Scott Dixon will be starting in the #02, Alex Tagliani will be starting in the #08, and James Davison will be first behind the wheel in the #007. The remainder of the INDYCAR pilots will be stepping into the car later in the 1,440 minute event.
Again, we're going to be here for the entirety of the event and will bring you all the content we can. It's important we hear from you as to what you're looking for from us! So tell us what you want to see, stories you want to hear, etc. We'll get out there and get it done!
Saturday – Jan. 25 – 9:45AM
It's officially Race Day! We're beyond excited to get this thing off and rolling and get the party started. We heard some of your requests for a spotters guide that is specific to the INDYCAR drivers competing in the event. So, here you have it. You may notice that the #78 doesn't feature Sebastian Saavedra or EJ Viso. Due to the late nature of their entry they were not a part of the spotters guide. Rest assured that they are in fact racing in the #78 Starworks Daytona Prototype. We hope you find it helpful!
At the end of the day, RACER.com writer, Marshall Pruett caught up with Tony Kanaan, Scott Dixon and their TUSC teammate Memo Rojas. The subsequent interview is quite hilarious. Over the course of such a long race these drivers seem to get a bit bored outside the car. As a result, interesting antics ensue.
So, we've spent the past couple of days here and we're feeling pretty confident in picking our favorites for the race. Before we do that we want to hear your favorites and dark horses. Send along your predictions in the comments below. We'll post another update later this morning. Happy Race Day!
Friday – Jan. 24 – 2:10PM
Final practice for the Rolex 24 is complete. Richard Westbrook turned the overall fastest lap in the final session with a 1:38.964 in his Corvette DP. The INDYCAR drivers and their respective teams rounded out the session in the following positions:
- Sebastien Bourdais – P3 Overall – 1:39.665 (Christian Fittipaldi turned the fastest lap for the team in practice).
- Scott Dixon/Tony Kanaan – P4 Overall – 1:39.822 (Scott turned the fastest lap for the team in practice).
- Sage Karam – P5 Overall – 1:39.835 (Memo Rojas turned the fastest lap for the team in practice).
- Simon Pagenaud – P12 Overall – 1:41.528 (Johannes Van Overbeek turned the fastest lap for the team in practice).
- Justin Wilson – P13 Overall – 1:41.675 (AJ Allmendinger turned the fastest lap for the team in practice).
- Conor Daly/Alex Tagliani – P21 Overall, P6 PC Class – 1:45.349 (Conor turned the fastest lap for the team in practice).
- Ryan Briscoe – P26 Overall, P3 GTLM Class – 1:45.934(Jan Magnussen turned the fastest lap for the team in practice).
- Graham Rahal – P30 Overall, P7 GTLM Class – 1:46.309 (Dirk Mueller turned the fastest lap for the team in practice).
- Ryan Hunter-Reay – P33 Overall, P10 GTLM Class – 1:46.435 (Marc Goosens turned the fastest lap for the team in practice).
- Mikhail Aleshin – P51 Overall, P17 GTD Class – 1:49.495 (Sergey Zlobin turned the fastest lap for the team in practice).
- James Davison – P54 Overall, P20 GTD Class -1:49.830 (Al Carter turned the fastest lap for the team in practice).
- Gabby Chavez – No laps turned.
- Tristan Vautier – No laps turned.
With the final session often being a simple shake down to make sure things are prepped for the big show tomorrow the results aren't necessarily a prediction for the race. Especially considering many of the teams used the session to get drivers who hadn't had as much time in the car to get prepped. Still, it's impressive to have 6 drivers from INDYCAR inside the top 15 positions.
He has the name, the car and the number. Meet James Davison ("license to thrill"). Davison, a Firestone Indy Lights race winner who competed in two IndyCar Series races last season for Dale Coyne Racing, is co-driving the No. 007 Aston Martin V12 Vantage for TRG-AMR in the Rolex 24 At Daytona. The team had a bit of James Bond fun in the garage area, posing in tuxedos with the car. Davison, 27, of Australia, said he's cautiously optimistic of making his Indianapolis 500 debut in May.
We managed to gather most of the drivers this afternoon for aquick group shot. Unfortunately, many of them weren't able to make it.

Friday – Jan. 24 – 10:00AM
Good news race fans, RACING IS BACK! The Rolex 24 marks the kick-off of the racing season and we couldn't be happier to be here. This year features not only one of the strongest fields in recent memory but there is a massive contingent from the INDYCAR paddock taking to the track this weekend. Drivers from Indy Lights to the IndyCar Series are piloting cars in several different classes. Overall, 30 competitors in this years event have competed in an INDYCAR race. 16 of those 30 have won at least 1 race in the IndyCar Series. While that's certainly impressive in its own right, what really shows the strength of INDYCAR drivers in the Rolex 24 is the fact that in the last 10 years INDYCAR drivers have won five of the races.
What does all that mean? We're in for quite the show! I'm beyond excited to get this event started. Not only is it great to see all the incredible drivers from the IndyCar Series behind the wheel this early in the year but the merged sports car series with new cars and drivers should be spectacular to follow. So, here's our plan… we're going to bring you all the inside info and behind the scenes images from this event. Starting today and going through the checkered flag on Sunday (yes, all 24 hours of the race) we will be providing frequent updates to this post. So bookmark it, tweet it, share it on Facebook, email it to your friends. This will be the one-stop shop for all things INDYCAR at the Rolex 24. Are there things you want to see or information you're looking for? Let us know in the comments below and we'll get out there and find it for you!
