AJ Allmendinger scored a win at the 24 Hours of Daytona in 2012, driving for Michael Shank Racing (now Meyer Shank Racing) alongside Oswaldo Negri Jr., John Pew and Justin Wilson. Allmendinger, driving the #60 car for the team, led the last 23 laps of the race, crossing the line first for the team after driving the final 2 hours and 45 minutes of the endurance challenge.

Speaking after his win, Allmendinger described his experience as extremely enjoyable.

"I feel very fortunate. This is why I love racing so much."

"That was the most fun three hours of racing I've ever had. I went flat-out. That was fun. It was a good time. I knew every lap I had to drive my butt off. I never try to give myself a lot of credit, but that was some of the best three hours of driving in my life." [via The Florida Times Union]

AJ Allmendinger and his teammates secured MSR's first-ever win at the Rolex 24, as well as having driven a Ford-powered car to victory for the fourth time in the history of the race.
