Rolex 24 Hour 15: Ganassi #01 leads #60 Acura

Posted by AR1 staff

As the sun began to rise over the Daytona Speedway, Renger van der Zande in the #01 Ganassi Cadillac held a slight lead over the #60 Meyer Shank Racing Acura driven by AJ Allmendinger as the clock hit the 15-hour mark in the Rolex 24.

The #31 Whelen Engineering Cadillac with Mike Conway at the wheel was third as the top-5 ran within 0.8 s of each other after another caution flag period ended.

The #48 Ally Cadillac with Kobayashi at the wheel had just pitted and dropped from 2nd to 4th while the #10 Wayne Taylor Acura rounded out the top-5

The #3 Corvette of Antonio Garcia led in GTLM but the #25 RLL BMW began to show some strength in 2nd and displacing the #4 Corvette of Milner to 3rd.
