1990 Rolex 24 Winner Davy Jones Returns with Muehlner Motorsports

Davy Jones announced today that he will compete in the 50th Anniversary Rolex 24 At Daytona with the Mühlner Motorsports America team in the season opener of the 2012 GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series season.
Jones will be behind the wheel of the No. 18 Texas Heart Institute Porsche GT3 Cup car which he will share with co-drivers John McCutchen, Bill Lester and Mark Thomas during the 24 hour event.

Jones will look to score his second career Rolex 24 victory around the high banked 3.56-mile, 12-turn speedway road course and preparations have started on the right foot as the Belgian team showed impressive speed at the Roar Before the 24, clocking the second fastest lap of the three day test.
Jones is no stranger to Porsches and endurance races as in 1996 he became the last American to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans while driving a Porsche LMP1 car. This year he will look to repeat that feat at Daytona by taking the win in the GT category.

The team will be supplied with stylish safety sun glasses by Edge Eyewear (www.edge-eyewear.com) to help protect them during the various pit stops, and to keep them awake during the grueling 24 hour race MonaVie (www.monavie.com) will provide them with their EMV all natural energy drink.

Jones has competed with success in virtually every form of motorsports including GRAND-AM, Le Mans Series, IndyCar, NASCAR, IMSA-GTP, IROC and Formula 3. Jones returns to the Rolex 24 on the 22nd anniversary of his victory at the historic event.
