One of the contenders for the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship GTP title, Nick Tandy, was involved in a major crash in the No. 6 Porsche Penske Motorsport 963. The car ended up in the Turn 10 gravel, effectively ending Tandy and Mathieu Jaminet’s hopes of winning the inaugural crown for the new-era GTP. The incident occurred when Dennis Andersen in the No. 20 High Class Racing ORECA LMP2 car made light contact with Charles Scardina in the No. 023 Triarsi Racing Ferrari 296 GT3, causing the Ferrari to spin across the track and collide with Brendan Iribe’s No. 70 Inception Racing McLaren, which then struck Tandy’s Porsche. Tandy was seen imploring the emergency personnel to remove the car from the gravel with him inside, but he was eventually persuaded to exit the car before it was lifted onto a flatbed. The extent of the damage is unknown, and while it is possible that the car may return to the race, it will likely be several laps behind. Currently, Louis Deletraz in the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing with Andretti Autosport holds the lead after a series of pit stops during the subsequent full-course caution.
