With Friday qualifying rained out, team points determined grid positions, so the leading Dinan-engined Ganassi prototype started from the pole. Rojas led from the start, pulling ahead of his closest competitors early in the race. He handed off to Pruett on a green-flag stop about 50 minutes into the 2 3/4-hour enduro. Pruett soon regained the lead, and held it to the end except for the laps immediately following his pit stops. Ryan Dalziel and Alex Popow in their Riley-Ford were second, just under eighteen seconds behind the Ganassi car, while Alex Gurney and Jon Fogarty finished third in their Corvette DP.
The Turner Motorsport #94 M3 driven by Paul Dalla Lana and Billy Johnson finished seventh in the GT class. The bad luck that the team’s #93 M3 has had so far this season continued, as the car retired with a transmission problem on Michael Marsal's stint, just three laps into the race. Robin Liddell and John Edwards won the GT class in their Stevenson Camaro.
The GX Mazda 6 diesel took its first ever class win, as Joel Miller and Andrew Carbonell beat Porsche racers Dr. Jim Norman and David Donohue to the checkered flag.
All but eleven minutes of the race were run under green; there was a very early five-lap yellow flag period.
The series now takes a six week break. The next race will be run on the Belle Isle circuit in Detroit on June 1. Going into that race Pruett and Rojas have a seven-point lead over Gurney and Fogarty.—Brian S. Morgan
