Tandy retook the lead from Campbell during the 18th hour, in what has been an all-Porsche mockery of the Rolex 24 since sunset.

Philipp Eng ran third in the No. 24 Team RLL BMW M Hybrid, although more than 40 second behind the Porsches, with Scott Dixon in the No. 60 Meyer Shank Racing Acura ARX-06 in fourth.

In what has been a disastrous Rolex 24 for Cadillac, the lone-remaining Wayne Taylor Racing Cadillac V-Series.R of Brendon Hartley completed the top-five.

LMP2 was led by the No. 99 AO Racing Oreca 07 Gibson of Christian Rasmussen, ahead of Job van Uitert in the No. 8 Tower Motorsports entry.

Madison Snow led the GTD Pro class at the three-quarter mark in the No. 1 Paul Miller Racing BMW M4 GT3 EVO.

L. Heinrich ran 2nd in the #77 AO Racing Porsche

Dennis Olsen ran third in the No. 65 Multimatic Motorsports Ford Mustang GT3 in third.

The No. 13 AWA Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R of Matt Bell was out front in GTD, the first time a Corvette has really led, but it came after the No. 57 Winward Racing Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo was handed a drive-through penalty for a pit lane infringement.
