Team Sahlen bumped Michael Shank Racing off the top of the time sheet, during day two of the final pre-season test before the 24 Hours of Daytona, at Daytona International Speedway.

Team Sahlen may be new to Daytona Prototype, but not to Grand-Am racing: the team has been around the series for over a decade. Saturday, it put its experience to good use, driver Dane Cameron lapping faster time than Michael Shank Racing's Michel Valiante

Cameron, in the No. 42 BMW/Riley, clocked a 1min42.101s, and Valiante, in the No. 6 Ford/Riley, a 1min42.160s.

Patrick Long topped the sheet in GT, thanks to the 1min48.569s he bagged aboard his No. 73 Park Place Motorsports Porsche GT3.

Napleton Racing was again the quickest team in the new GX class. Shane Lewis logged a 1min56.167s in the same No. 16 Porsche Cayman co-driver David Donohue drove yesterday.
