Rolex Sports Car Series
Gurney moved to the Rolex Sports Car Series in 2005, driving for GAINSCO/Bob Stallings Racing in the Daytona Prototype division. He scored two poles and four top-10 finishes in his first year, co-driving with team owner Bob Stallings.
In 2006, Gurney was paired with fellow former Atlantic Championship star Jon Fogarty, finishing 11th in Daytona Prototype points with two runner-up finishes to his credit. In 2007, the pairing combined for a series-record seven wins and ten poles, en route to the Daytona Prototype drivers' championship.
Gurney and Fogarty finished second in the championship standings in 2008, with one victory and eight top-five finishes. In 2009, they earned their second Daytona Prototype championship in a season that saw the No. 99 GAINSCO Riley Pontiac score four victories and six pole positions.
In 2010 and 2011, Gurney finished fourth in the Daytona Prototype points standings.
Fogarty and Gurney return to GAINSCO/Bob Stallings Racing for 2012, with its Riley-Chevrolet sporting new Corvette-themed bodywork introduced by GM.

Famous quotes containing the words sports, car and/or series:
“Come, my Celia, let us prove
While we may the sports of love;
Time will not be ours forever,
He at length our good will sever.”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
“One way to do it might be by making the scenery penetrate the automobile. A polished black sedan was a good subject, especially if parked at the intersection of a tree-bordered street and one of those heavyish spring skies whose bloated gray clouds and amoeba-shaped blotches of blue seem more physical than the reticent elms and effusive pavement. Now break the body of the car into separate curves and panels; then put it together in terms of reflections.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“There is in every either-or a certain naivete which may well befit the evaluator, but ill- becomes the thinker, for whom opposites dissolve in series of transitions.”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
