Briscoe made the winning pass with less than 25 minutes remaining, ending what had been race-long dominance by the pole-sitting car of Bernhard and Dumas. The two LMP2 cars pitted together with 50 minutes left and the race under caution. Briscoe, running second at the time, got new tires and fuel while Bernhard's crew elected to just top off the fuel tank.
