DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Fernando Alonso drove his final laps in the Rolex 24 At Daytona in the 22nd hour of the 24-hour race.
But his race ended in reality before the race even got halfway. After about 10 hours, 20 minutes, Alonso felt the brakes go, he blew through one of the turns and headed to pit road at Daytona International Speedway.
The United Autosports team spent about 40 minutes changing the master cylinder of the brakes. The team wound up returning to the garage a couple more times for brake and throttle issues, and Alonso stepped out of the car with it in 20th place, 50 laps down.
