Safety trucks have been deployed to tow the #19 away. Race control urging the remaining runners to close up as soon as they can.

I was just about to reply that even he can't make up 10 seconds on the 3rd place and he'd need a yellow, and while editing this post he got the yellow.

Italian supercars work in mysterious ways... mysterious ways.

 

[VulcanSpirit]

Pit lane opens; top 4 are coming in!

Castroneves in the #60 first of those to come out.

 

[Savolainen83]

Nevermind.

Italian supercars work in mysterious ways... mysterious ways.

That gave me a chuckle. Derani is now 2nd.

 

[SKOALBANDIT]

These NBC Jurassic Park/Winter Olympics crossovers are getting excessive

 

[VulcanSpirit]

#31 and #5 Cadillacs both coming in for a splash and dash! This could have some very interesting implications for the last half-hour or so.

 

[Savolainen83]

Both Caddies in for splash and dash.

 

[VulcanSpirit]

One more lap under the safety car. Will the Cadillac fuel strategy work out?

 

[VulcanSpirit]

Safety car is in.

Castroneves leads the field as we enter the last 30 minutes!

Duval has been forced wide by the #31; both have lost touch with the Acuras!

 

[Dylan]

30 minutes to go! Green flag!

 

[Savolainen83]

Caddies fighting with each other.

 

[ykiki]

20 minutes to go, and they'll be catching GT traffic soon.

 

[VulcanSpirit]

Tense stuff in the final 20 minutes as both Castroneves and Taylor encounter heavy GT traffic. Five tenths separate Delétraz and Herta for LMP2 lead honours.

GTD Pro lead battle still brewing between the #9 and #2 Porsches; the Acuras are catching up to them now!

 

[VulcanSpirit]

Alessandro Pier Guidi brings the #62 Risi Ferrari up to third in GTD Pro. He's on afterburners according to John Hindhaugh.

The LMP2 leaders clash at the bus stop! No action taken by the stewards.

 

[Savolainen83]

LMP2 Leader goes straight through the Le Mans chicane.

 

[Jezza819]

Herta with the pass into the LeMans Chicane into the LMP2 lead.

 

[ykiki]

Herta / Delatraz bump at the chicane and GTDP still a tight battle as well.!

 

[VulcanSpirit]

We're in the final 10 minutes, ladies and gentlemen!

#9 takes the GTD Pro lead as Herta forces his way through in the #81 DragonSpeed.

The #2 is not giving in, though!

Castroneves leads overall by 3 seconds from Taylor.

 

[Savolainen83]

Vanthoor is really, REALLY, pushing it.

 

[Jezza819]

I agree with Dale Jr, race control has let the #2 & #9 bump and rub all race long, why would you tell the #2 to stop it within the last 10 minutes of the race?

 

[VulcanSpirit]

Rough and tumble between the Porsche GTD Pro leaders! The #9 yields to the #2 after a fair bit of nudging from both machines.

Duval loses more ground to Taylor after running wide at Turn 1.

White flag next time round.

 

[Savolainen83]

Hey #2 and #9, get a room already. NSFW!

 

[ykiki]

Wow, this GTDP fight is awesome!

 

[VulcanSpirit]

Push to pass from the #9! This is the final lap!

 

[Savolainen83]

 

[VulcanSpirit]

DISASTER FOR KCMG! The #2 is down to 3rd after that attempted move around the outside of the Le Mans chicane!

Helio Castroneves wins the 2022 24 Hours of Daytona for Acura and the #60 Meyer Shank crew!

 

[pumaATTACK]

That Porsche battle at the end was incredible

 

[ykiki]

Wow wow wow what a finish!

 

[Savolainen83]

Vanthoor got Pfaffet.
