BRUMOS IS BACK Jacksonville-ba

DAYTONA BEACH - Brumos. Porsche. Daytona.

History.

Sports-car racing's past, present and future were served Sunday in an epic finish at the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona when Brumos Racing returned to Victory Lane.

Brumos and Porsche, once the legendary combination that set the standard for endurance racing, proved to be flawless throughout the marathon at Daytona International Sexy Clothes Speedway. A dramatic pass in the final hour by pole-winner David Donohue ended a seven-lap, side-by- side, nose-to-tail, battle with Juan Pablo Montoya and gave Jacksonville-based Brumos its fifth overall victory as an organization and its eighth win in class.

"Brumos has a long-standing tradition of success," Donohue said. "We kept sticking to it by getting things organized. That's how they win races. The truth is in the results."

Members of the winning team, which included Darren Law, 2004 Indianapolis 500 winner Buddy Rice and Antonio Garcia, received a new Rolex. The importance of the effort, however, was worth so much more.

"We came up with a real efficient package," Donohue said. "The emotions ran high. We've been at the bottom of the barrel for a while. I've said Brumos Racing has a lot of tenacity. We came ready to run hard. The point of running hard all the time was to win the stupid race. We ran our tails off the entire time."

The last time Brumos won at Daytona as a team was in 1978, with early team frontman Peter Gregg, Rolf Stommelen and Antoine Hezemans. The last time Brumos won a race in the Grand-Am Road Racing Series was 2003.

Brumos has been at Daytona since sports cars started racing endurance races there in 1962.

The victory for a Porsche engine was the first since 2003 and only the second win in the past 18 years.

Now they're both back on top.

Donohue became the third son to follow his father's footsteps to a 24-hour win. The others were Al Unser and Al Unser Jr. and John Paul and John Paul Jr. Young Donohue's win came on the 40th anniversary of his father's victory.

The No. 58 Porsche-powered Riley prototype car was running third when it made its final pit stop with 64 minutes to go. It came out of the pits in second, passing the No. 59. After that, the only car in the way of Donohue was the Lexus-Riley of Montoya. It took seven laps - and more than 10 attempts - but Donohue finally made the pass coming through the tri-oval at the finish line, passing on the outside and out-braking Montoya into the hairpin first turn. Once Donohue got out front, he kept it there.

"We had good top end, but you really had to know how to use it," Donohue said. "We really had to plan it. We couldn't drive by. I had to seize the opportunity. Our teammates were the hardest one to pass. It really was a two-car team."

Montoya, along with Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas, settled for second, about 20 yards behind. The No. 59 Brumos Porsche of Haywood, J.C. France, Joao Barbosa and Terry Borcheller was third.
