Ryan Briscoe and Richard Westbrook took their third straight IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar triumph. The Corvettes took the last 2 areas on the podium with the No. 4 second and the No. 3 3rd.
The No. 25 BMW and the No. 66 Ford GT completed the leading five.
Chip Ganassi Racing took the lead late throughout the final cycle of rest stop, getting an 11 second cushion. Tommy Milner attempted running down Briscoe, however went no closer than six seconds.
Really early in the race, the No. 100 BMW had concerns that caused the group to take it behind the wheel. It eventually returned to the race numerous laps down and in the closing phases, held up Joey Hand to the point where he sent out the car around. Race control examined the incident, however no action was taken.
In GTD, Alex Job Racing had the benefit early, however their race eventually unravelled with a loose wheel that triggered a full-course caution.
The lead altered hands several times throughout the last set of rest stop with the No. 33 Riley Motorsports Viper developing in the catbird seat. They were scored in second, but would inherit the lead after the No. 27 Dream Racing Lamborghini pitted.
However, things complex with simply over 30 minutes to enter the race when Jeroen Bleekemolen diminished the Lamborghini, piloted by Fabio Babini. Bleekemolen could not lose any time with the No. 96 Turner BMW of Jens Klingmann.
As soon as the BMW surpassed, Bleekemolen struck the back of Babini in obvious frustration. With the water pressure suddenly dropping after the contact, he was forced to pit and quit a podium finish.
Turner got to take an important victory, a number of seconds clear of the Audi of Stevenson Motorsports (at No. 6) and Lamborghini of Paul Miller Racing (at No. 48).
With just over a minute left in the race, a full-course yellow was shown after the No. 44 Magnus Racing Porsche of Andy Lally crashed, finishing the race behind the safety car.
