The United Autosports racing team secured a belated victory in the LMP2 class at the Rolex 24 At Daytona after Tower Motorsports' disqualification following post-race inspection. The No. 22 crew of Dan Goldburg, Rasmus Lindh, Paul di Resta, and James Allen moved up from second place to claim the win.

The team executed a nearly flawless race, encountering only minor setbacks with a flat tire midway through and a controversial drive-through penalty in the final hour. Their performance marked a significant improvement from the previous year, when they managed just one podium finish.

Dan Goldburg, who combines his racing career with leading a construction company, showed remarkable progress by securing pole position against veteran Ben Keating. He credits his improved performance to enhanced fitness and a calmer mental approach in his second LMP2 season.

The victory holds special significance for Rasmus Lindh, who reunited with Goldburg after their previous collaboration in LMP3. Their partnership, which began in 2020, has proven crucial for both drivers' development. Lindh's addition to United Autosports came after Goldburg's strong advocacy for his former teammate.

James Allen, securing his second Rolex win in three years, won't continue with the team for the remainder of the season. The team plans to celebrate their victory together before the Sebring 12 Hours, with Allen flying in specifically for the celebration.

The win represents a remarkable turnaround for United Autosports, particularly after their challenging previous season. The team's success demonstrates the importance of driver chemistry, strategic execution, and continuous improvement in endurance racing.
