For the four big races of the 2014 season, there will now be big money on the line with an extra $300,000 prize fund allocated to the new Tequila Patrón North American Endurance Cup.

The enduro series includes the four iconic endurance races in the TUDOR Championship: the Rolex 24 At Daytona at Daytona International Speedway on Jan. 25-26; the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring Fueled by Fresh from Florida at Sebring International Raceway on March 15; the Sahlen’s Six Hours of The Glen at Watkins Glen International on June 29; and the 1,000-mile or 10-hour Petit Le Mans Powered by Mazda at Road Atlanta on Oct. 4.

The series will feature an incredible 52 hours of racing. The $300,000 prize fund will have $100,000 going to the Prototype (P) and GT Le Mans (GTLM) championship-winning teams and $50,000 for the Prototype Challenge (PC) and GT Daytona (GTD) team champions.

“At the outset of the process to merge the American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patrón and the GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series, we established a goal of providing substantial opportunities for our existing marketing partners, and especially so with our title partners,” said IMSA President and Chief Operating Officer, Scott Atherton.

“Tequila Patrón played a significant role in the success of the American Le Mans Series over the past decade, and (Patrón Spirits International CEO) Ed Brown was instrumental in bringing together (GRAND-AM Founder) Jim France and (American Le Mans Series Founder) Don Panoz to create what we now know as the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship. With that in mind, we could not be more pleased to confirm Tequila Patrón continuing its involvement in a very significant and multi-faceted role. Tequila Patr?n will continue to have its name on some of our most valuable assets.”

Extreme Speed Motorsports will continue to display Patrón colors throughout 2014 with a two-car HPD Honda prototype assault.
