Prototype
Jordan Taylor has the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Cadillac in his hands and is currently keeping it in front of the field with just three hours remaining. It's Christian Fittipaldi who is trying to hunt him down in second, but the No. 5 Action Express Racing Cadillac is several seconds adrift.
Right as the hour came to an end, the No. 5 made a scheduled green-flag pit stop and the No. 10 will follow suit shortly.
GTLM
In GTLM, the fight is on. Joey Hand in the Ford, James Calado in the Ferrari and Antonio Garcia in the Corvette were all within a second of each other with ten minutes left in the hour. After the 17th full course yellow for a stranded PC car, Hand was able to power past Calado, but he hasn't been able to get away. The Ferrari fought back late in the hour and resumed command of the race, which allowed two more Ford GTs to join the fray and make it a five-car duel.
GTD
Mario Farnbacher is giving the Riley Motorsports Team AMG Mercedes a great showing in GTD, leading the way ahead of Sam Bird in the No. 63 Scuderia Corsa Ferrari by just over a second
In Prototype Challenge, the No. 38 Performance Tech ORECA is enjoying a massive 24-lap lead.
