Alonso Wins Rolex 24 at Daytona driving Minolta Cadillac.

His legend grew another notch or two today. However, the real Triple Crown of Motorsport still eludes him and he has the opportunity to win the Indy 500, with McLaren in May and match Graham Hill, so far the only driver to manage the rare accolade.

Should the Spaniard triumph at the Brickyard, he will then have accomplished the unique ‘Quadruple Crown of Motorsport’ with Daytona added to the triple.
