As daylight faded, Christophe Bouchut in the #55 Level 5 Riley BMW led the Grand Am Rolex 24 hour race at Daytona International Speedway. After three hours and 90 laps of racing, Bouchut led by a few seconds over IndyCar driver Justin Wilson in the # 6 Shank Racing Dallara Ford by less than a second.

Third was David Donahue, driving the #5 Action Express Riley Porsche. Donahue had held the lead from lap 67 until a yellow flag on lap 84 closely pursued by Paul Edwards in the #90 Spirit of Daytona Coyote Chevrolet until Edwards got caught up in a multi-car spinfest at the chicane on lap 78.
