Rolex 24 Hour 18: Action Express comes from laps down to retake lead

Last year's winners have made up many laps to take the lead

After stopping out on track and losing many laps when a fuel pressure hose disconnected and the car stopped out on the track, the Action Express Corvette DP with Joao Barbosa at the wheel is back out in front of the Rolex 24 at Daytona. The track is currently under caution.

Jordan Taylor runs 2nd in the Wayne Taylor No. 10 Corvette DP.

The two Ganassi Fords run 3rd and 4th and the top 4 cars essentially are nose-to-tail setting up what appears to be a 4-car shootout for the win over the final 6 hours of the grueling twice around the clock race.
