Not like it's a huge deal, but if it said "Free hot dog for Rolex 24 ticket holders" I'd be all over it.
Yeah, but I have to check and see what the situation is for delivery. I picked up my car corral stuff at Petit Le Mans at will call, but they mailed some. I have a few outstanding emails to the VIP people but everyone is on vacation.

From the Roar before the 24 website:
ROLEX 24 AT DAYTONA TICKET HOLDERS
2016 Rolex 24 At DAYTONA ticket holders once again receive FREE admission to the Roar Before the Rolex 24. An email will be sent to current Rolex 24 ticket holders in early January which will serve as the Roar Before the Rolex 24 admission. Ticket holders are asked to NOT bring your Rolex 24 tickets with you to the Roar. If you do not have an email on file with DAYTONA, please check in at the DIS Tours & Ticket Office at the corner of Bill France Blvd. and International Speedway Boulevard.

I doubt their email method will work for hospitality package purchasers.

(Ford Chip Ganassi Racing Press Release)
Ford Chip Ganassi Racing announced today the drivers who will complete the Ford GT lineup for the Rolex 24 At Daytona.
French driver Sébastien Bourdais joins American Joey Hand and German Dirk Müller in the No. 66 Ford GT, while German Stefan Mücke will be paired with Australian Ryan Briscoe and Richard Westbrook, of England, in the No. 67 Ford GT.
Ford created this all-new iteration of the iconic GT to mark the 50th anniversary of the company’s 1-2-3 sweep of the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans with the Ford GT40.
In 1966, Ford started its victorious march to Le Mans with a win at the inaugural Rolex 24 At Daytona, with defending winners Ken Miles and Lloyd Ruby. The GT40 also won the 2000K event at Daytona the year before with Miles and Ruby.
Ganassi’s team is the record-holder for overall team wins (6) at the Rolex 24 At Daytona. Ford also has six overall wins at the Rolex 24 (1965-6, 1997, 1999, 2012, 2015).
The all-new Ford GT supercar is the culmination of years of Ford innovations in lightweighting, aerodynamics and ultra-efficient Ford EcoBoost engines. Ford announced it would return to GT racing with the Ford GT last June at the 2015 24 Hours of Le Mans.
