The 52nd Rolex 24 at Daytona has brought out some of the biggest names from the world of motorsports, including the infamous @TheOrangeCone.

With just over four hours remaining in the endurance event, the Level 5 Motorsports Ferrari F458 Italia GT Daytona Class car driven by Milo Valverde misjudged his entry into the bus stop on the backstretch of the Daytona road course. Unfortunately, Valverde's trip off-course was not without its consequences.

Valverde not only hit the orange cone, but took it for a lengthy ride around the course.

Milo Valverde took more than a little off the top when he had his run-in with the orange cone.

As expected, Twitter had a little early-morning fun with the incident.

Huge hit for @TheOrangeCone! You OK? #Rolex24
