ROLEX 24 AT DAYTONA

January 30, 2022

Michael Cooper

Media Conference

Q. Michael Cooper, how does it feel to be a Rolex 24 champion?

MICHAEL COOPER: I think it will feel pretty good when I lay my head on a pillow tonight. I don't know that it's really sunk in yet. With only an hour of sleep yesterday at 7:00 in the morning, everything is kind of fuzzy (smiling).

But it's pretty cool. That's a good reminder right there (showing the Rolex).

Q. How did you do it? You seemed to be pretty consistent throughout all 24 hours.

MICHAEL COOPER: Stay out of trouble, be consistent, get Gar done and up front early. Felipe and Kay and Gar gave it our all. We were fortunate. We had a couple close calls there, but persevered through. The whole Riley Motorsports team, it's awesome.
