SATURDAY RACEDAY
Friday Practice
The all-daylong front-runner, Rebellion Racing Lola No. 12 car in the last laps suffered a flat tire that put the car off track and into the dirt just before the pit entrance. Although the driver was able to go straight into the pits for a very quick tire replacement, the lead was lost to the HPD ARX-03a Muscle Milk car, No. 6, who had been doggedly pacing the Rebellion car all day in second place.
The Winner! In P1. After 4 long hard fought hours over 335 plus miles.
Car No. 6, Klaus Graf/Lucas Luhr (6-P1), HPD ARX-03c, 150 laps;

Level 5 Motorsports car No. 552 just looses it in a most impressive bit of smoke, coming out of turn 9 and spins in front of the crowd with what looks like RSR Racing's car just missing him on the outside by diving into the dirt. I saw parts fly as the 2 passed and some of the debris may have been what lodged into Rebellion Racing's Lola, laps later putting him into the pits and out of first place
