Michael Shank Racing leads the 54th Rolex 24 at Daytona with 7 hours complete, with the No. 60 Ligier JS P2 Honda of AJ Allmendinger ahead of the No. 5 Action Express Racing Corvette DP and No. 02 Ford Chip Ganassi Racing Riley-Ford DP.

Defending Prototype Challenge class champions CORE autosport’s race is done, following engine failure for its Oreca FLM09 in the sixth hour.

It came while Mark Wilkins was comfortably out from in the lead in class, and has given the top spot to the No. 52 PR1/Mathiasen Motorsports entry of Jose Gutierrez.

Earl Bamber is out front in GT Le Mans, leading a Porsche North America 1-2.

Additionally, Jordan Taylor, who completed a single stint early in the race, will not return to the wheel due to an ongoing illness.
