Race

The team of de Ferran Motorsport won their second straight ALMS race at the track where the team made their debut in 2008. 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.
