Palou will be the fourth driver in a squad that features regular IMSA SportsCar Championship season drivers Sebastien Bourdais and Renger van der Zande, along with six-time IndyCar champion Scott Dixon for the Floridian sportscar classic on 27-28 January.
Palou has started the race once before with Ganassi, driving its Daytona Prototype Cadillac DPi-V.R in 2022 and setting fastest lap in his first sportscar start since he drove a McLaren in SUPER GT competition in Japan in 2019.
“I'm very excited to return to Daytona after competing with the team in the DPi era in 2022,” said Palou. “I can't wait to get behind the wheel of the new hybrid and it will be a great way to start the year early with such a great team and with such great team-mates.
“I've had the privilege of racing with Scott, Sebastien and Renger and I'm sure with all the preparation and knowledge that the team has, we'll be able to fight for a win and maybe bring home some new watches at the end of January.”
