The GTD PRO entry list for the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix presented by Lear, the fifth round of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, grows by two from its normal sprint race size with the addition of two GTD teams joining the fray.
Vasser Sullivan Racing locked out the front row of the GTDs with its two Lexus RC F GT3s and, perhaps obviously, polesitter Parker Thompson, sharing the No. 89 with Ben Barnicoat, thinks that's a good thing. “It's probably a big advantage,” he said.
Race fans watching the 62nd Rolex 24 at Daytona on NBC noticed that the television displayed, "Two laps to go" during the race's final minutes, but the checker flag was thrown the next time by. The checker was displayed early, and Felipe Nasr crossed the line for the final time in the No.
“It's a different kind of pain, finishing second by that little,” said Jack Aitken after he, Pipo Derani and Tom Blomqvist were two seconds away from a Rolex 24 at Daytona victory in Whelen Cadillac Racing's No.31 Cadillac V-Series.R.
