Colin Braun, Tom Blomqvist, and Helio Castroneves secured Meyer Shank Racing with Curb Agajanian’s third win of the season at the 26th Motul Petit Le Mans at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta. Pipo Derani and Alexander Sims clinched the drivers’ title for Whelen Engineering Cadillac Racing after their main rivals were progressively eliminated. The pivotal moment of the race and the 2023 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship came when Filipe Albuquerque attempted a final attack on Pipo Derani for the championship. The contact between Albuquerque and Derani caused Albuquerque’s Acura to crash into the tire barrier and ultimately decided the title in favor of Derani and Sims. The race’s final result saw Colin Braun pass Renger van der Zande for the lead on a restart, with the No. 60 Meyer Shank Racing Acura capturing the win. The No. 01 Cadillac Racing team prepared by Chip Ganassi Racing finished in second place.
