The IMSA VP Racing SportsCar Challenge had its second season, with some exciting firsts at Daytona International Speedway. Steven Aghakhani had his first series start and won the overall and Le Mans Prototype 3 (P3) class in his first-ever race in a prototype. Luca Mars won the Grand Sport X (GSX) class in the global racing debut of the new Ford Mustang GT4, charging from last on the grid. Aghakhani lost the lead at the start but made a winning move with two minutes left, passing the leader heading into the infield. Mars started from the rear of the field due to a technical violation but quickly made his way to the top 10 and won by a narrow margin. Both Aghakhani and Mars will start on their respective class poles in the next race on Sunday.
