Action Express Wins Indy IMSA Battle on the Bricks in Green-White-Checkered Finish
A late restart secured Cadillac’s first WeatherTech win of the season for the No. 31 team.
Overview
- Jack Aitken, Earl Bamber and Frederik Vesti converted pole to victory in the No. 31 Action Express Cadillac after a six-hour race marked by heavy incident management.
- A crash for Toby Sowery’s No. 04 CrowdStrike by APR LMP2 with nine minutes left triggered the green-white-checkered dash that Aitken controlled to the flag.
- Cadillac locked out the top two with Ricky Taylor’s No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing entry second, while Tom Blomqvist and Colin Braun took third for Meyer Shank Racing’s No. 60 Acura.
- Race control issued 27 penalties in the first three hours as multiple full-course cautions followed debris, a beached car and collisions that shuffled strategies.
- Class winners: LMP2 went to the No. 11 TDS Racing Oreca (Mikkel Jensen, Steven Thomas, Hunter McElrea), GTD Pro to the No. 64 Multimatic Ford Mustang (Seb Priaulx) and GTD to the No. 70 Inception Ferrari (Frederik Schandorff, Ollie Milroy, Brendan Iribe).
