The 57th running of the [Rolex 24](<https://www.thedrive.com/accelerator/26176/watch-this-mind-boggling-onboard-of-mazda-team-joests-record-breaking-daytona-pole-lap>) at Daytona International Speedway was a [wet, often delayed, and grueling affair](<https://www.thedrive.com/accelerator/26180/these-photos-show-the-pain-of-the-most-treacherous-rolex-24-in-decades>). We were on hand to take in the sights, sounds, and sogginess with our eyes bright and tails bushy—at least at the start of the twice-around-the-clock classic.

Here's a look at some of our favorite photos from the weekend's on-track action, and to catch up on the rest of our written coverage, check out our race summary [here](<https://www.thedrive.com/accelerator/26181/wayne-taylor-racing-triumphs-at-rain-shortened-rolex-24-alonso-claims-first-ever-daytona-win>).
