IMSA President John Doonan stated that expanding the Rolex 24 grid is currently "not possible" due to limitations in pit lane and paddock space at Daytona International Speedway.
"We only have so many spots on pit lane,"
Doonan said, confirming that next year's WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season opener will likely remain at a capacity 61-car grid. Author's summary: Rolex 24 grid expansion is limited.
