HOMESTEAD, Fla. (AP) -- Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, and Sam Hornish Jr. tested their prototype cars Wednesday for the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series 24 Hours of Daytona race.

"It's been a blast," Gordon said. "Yesterday, I was pretty excited just to be able to drive a car that performs like this on a road course. It's a lot of fun. Obviously, with our track record in the Cup series on the road courses, I like the road courses."

Gordon will make his first appearance in the 24-hour race on Jan. 27-28. He will share the No. 10 Pontiac Riley with Wayne Taylor and Max Angelelli, who claimed the overall victory in the 24-hour race in 2005.

Hornish is listed as one of four drivers in the No. 60 Lexus Riley, alongside his IndyCar teammate Helio Castroneves and Grand-Am regulars Mark Patterson and Oswaldo Negri Jr.

Johnson said Tuesday that he will co-drive the No. 91 Pontiac Riley with Jim Matthews, Marc Goossens and Ryan Hunter-Reay.
