Lowe's Fernández Racing continued their sweep of the LMP2 category with another victory, but led the #20 Dyson Racing entry across the finish line by less than six tenths of a second. Flying Lizard Motorsports also continued their winning ways with their third straight victory on the season, leading the fellow Porsche of Farnbacher-Loles. The partnership of Martin and Melanie Snow won the inaugural ALMS Challenge race, thanks in part to the disqualification of the two Orbit Racing entries for an illegal ride height.
