Colin Braun took the #60 Meyer Shank Racing Acura GTP to the front of the pack just after the 12-hour mark, continuing the ever-changing lead battle. Matt Campbell seized the lead in his #6 Porsche with an impressive braking maneuver and quickly built a lead. The Acura made attempts to close the gap, especially after restarts, but could not reclaim the lead. Porsche demonstrated strong performance during the cool night, securing a 1-2 with Laurens Vanthoor passing on the outside at Turn 1. Kevin Estre and Felipe Nasr lead the way for Porsche, as Felix Rosenqvist faced setbacks with the damaged #60 entry. The #99 AO Racing LMP2 received a penalty, briefly affecting its position in class, while Toby Sowery leads LMP2 in the #04 Crowdstrike Racing Oreca. Lauren Heinrich and Lucas Auer currently lead GTD Pro and GTD categories, respectively. Multiple caution periods, including one for the #36 DXDT Racing Corvette GTD and another for debris from the #22 United Autosport LMP2, added excitement to the race. With a third of the race left, pit lane strategy and driver endurance will come into play.
