Just hanging on to a top-ten position was the #66 Lynam Racing Chevy Silverado. After leading through most of the night, the Lynum Racing pick-up got speared by another car, cutting a brake line and dropping the truck down the order. Using the same steady consistency which earned them the longest tenure in the lead, the Lynam team steadily rose through the standings to finally reach ninth.

The Lynam truck has a chance to advance as far as seventh. It would take an amazing twist (how odd that would be) to make up the six laps to the #2 TFB BMW-mutant, which runs sixth and second in the ESR class.
With a little over ninety minutes left in the race, the only certainty is that everyone will be exhausted when the race finally ends.
