Chaotic restart with everyone effectively in the fuel window, little to lose, and everything to gain!

Spike has returned to the race. As he passed, I think I heard him say:

"I only came back for a chance to win and the pride of finishing, and I'm all out of chances to win."

The battle for the GTD Pro lead remains very intense. Rexy has been picking his way from 5th, and it feels like anybody in the top 5 has a shot!

Less than 2 hours to go!

Going green after the LMP2 #88 stopped on track leading their class, the #7 Penske Porsche controls the overall lead, the #6 losing positions in the pits due to a slow stop. Spike takes over LMP2 lead.

Stepping out of the track for breakfast after arriving early and without coffee to catch sunrise at the track.

Btw, if you need breakfast at Daytona International Speedway, Metro Diner by the Volusia Mall. I cannot recommend it enough!

Last check-in was at 12.5 hours to go. It takes about a 15-minute walk to get to where we parked and a 30-minute drive to where we stayed. My watch says I got 3h17m of sleep.

Leaving the track for now. Planning to return in time for sunrise. Fortunately, nothing crazy ever happens in the middle of the night at these races, right?

Good night, Daytona!

Back to green flag racing!

2 Cadillacs down, one currently leading the race. Can the blue Cadillac do what the others couldn't?

Didn't see what happened, was walking between viewing areas. Unfortunate for the #31 Cadillac. Is it terminal?
