The race has had several names Watch Co. is the title sponsor of the race under a naming
rights arrangement, replacing Sunbank(now SunTrust) which in turn replaced Pepsi in
1984. Winning drivers of all classes receive a steel Rolex Daytona watch.
In 2006, the race moved one week earlier into January to prevent a clash with the Super
Bowl, which had in turn moved one week later into February a few years earlier.
The race has been known historically as a leg of the informal Triple Crown of endurance
racing,although increasing isolation from international Sports Car racing regulations has
seen a gradual shift of importance to Petit Le Mans. However, the link was expected
to be reunited with the unification of the sport in 2014.
