Dane Cameron has cycled back to the front of the field heading into the final fourth as the Sahlen’s Six Hours of the Glen turns into a sprint. Antonio Garcia leads GTLM as the manufacturer teams have begun to split.
Juan Pablo Montoya handed the Team Penske Acura DPi back to Dane Cameron to close the race. Bruno Senna’s brief stints at the lead due to fuel advantage have kept the United Autosport team in close contention heading into the later stint of the race.
Heading into the final fourth of the race, Senna pit to hand the car over to Paul di Resta. Colin Braun has since put extreme pressure on P2 from his CORE autosport LMP2. The pole sitter did not start the race, leaving his team to start from the rear of the pack, and despite a spin from Romain Dumas the #54 has fought its way to P3 and is fast enough to contend.
Garcia and teammate Oliver Gavin put the Corvette Racing team into the lead of GTLM, as the Corvettes, Fords, and Porsches have each traded a third of the race. Heading into the final sprint, the running is Garcia, Ryan Briscoe, and Patrick Pilet as the teams are separated from their teammates for the first time at the Glen.
The fight for second has been tense between Ford and Porsche, trading position back and forth with some light contact. Despite the touches, neither teams have sustained damage and continue to be on pace to fight for the win.
Heading into the final fourth, the dual Porche GT3s of Robert Renauer and Patrick Lindsey lead GTD but will still need to head down pit road in the near future. They lead Katherine Legge, looking to claim the points lead from Madison Snow in P5. Snow’s teammate Sellers put their Paul Miller Racing Lamborghini in solid position to challenge for the win after a disappointing weekend in practice and qualifying.
