Overview

• A first-lap GTD multi-car crash triggered by Manny Franco’s spin eliminated contenders, clinched the GTD Drivers’ and Teams’ crowns for Winward Racing, and secured the Bob Akin Award for Orey Fidani.
• Conquest Racing reported Franco is doing well and undergoing precautionary evaluation at a local hospital following the opening-lap incident.
• Entering the final stretch, Jack Aitken’s No. 31 Action Express Cadillac holds the overall lead after stops under the sixth caution, with the No. 6 Porsche having led at halfway on a well-timed stop and now giving chase.
• United Autosports’ No. 22 LMP2 car was pushed behind the wall with a suspension failure, boosting AO Racing’s No. 99 into a title-favorable position as Era Motorsport’s No. 18 leads the class.
• GTD Pro momentum shifted after DragonSpeed served a drive-through and had contact for Albert Costa, leaving Paul Miller Racing’s No. 48 in control on the day and the No. 3 Corvette on course for the championship.
