For most of the race it appeared the No. 46 San Jose BMW R1200 of Brian Parriott and Nate Kern would score a second straight SunTrust MOTO-ST victory at Daytona. The winners of last October's inaugural 8 Hours At Daytona led 50 of the first 65 laps and looked to be cruising to the win before an engine problem took them out of the race with just 14 laps to go. |
