The Grand Am Rolex Sports Car Series will be racing for the first time on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course on July 27, and Telmex-Ganassi will be fielding a pair of cars full of stars for the event.

Along with the series-leading pair of Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas in the No. 01 Telmex-Ganassi Riley BMW, the team will run a second car for IndyCar ace Scott Dixon and NASCAR stars Jamie McMurray and Juan Pablo Montoya.

Pruitt and Rojas are the most successful driving team in Rolex history, having won three championships and hold first and second place in Rolex race wins. But even their fame pales compared to the crew in the No. 2.

Scott Dixon is a two-time IndyCar champion and won the 2008 Indianapolis 500. Juan Pablo Montoya won the 2000 Indy 500 before moving to NASCAR. Jamie McMurray has never won the Indy 500, but he did win the 2010 Brickyard 400 on the Indianapolis oval.

Dixon, McMurray, and Montoya are no strangers to the Rolex series, having races in Grand Am’s flagship race, the Rolex 24, several times for Telmex Ganassi.
