As the second half of the Rolex 24 at Daytona began, Porsche Penske Motorsports regained the overall lead with Laurens Vanthoor in the No. 6 car. Vanthoor quickly pulled out a 15-second lead over Maxime Martin’s No. 25 BMW. Jack Aitken handed over the No. 31 Cadillac to Tom Blomqvist, who caught up to Vanthoor and overtook him with a powerful move. However, the No. 24 BMW experienced technical issues and came to a stop, causing another full-course yellow. The Penske Porsches took advantage of pit stops and claimed first and second place overall. LMP2 and GTD remained steady, with Felipe Massa taking over the third-place ORECA in LMP2 and the No. 57 Mercedes leading in GTD.
