Colin Braun in the #60 Meyer Shank Racing Acura ARX-06 took the lead at the six-hour mark of the Daytona 24 Hours, the opening round of the IMSA SportsCar Championship. The Acura led a tight battle with the #7 Porsche 963 driven by Felipe Nasr, while the #40 Wayne Taylor Racing Cadillac and BMWs occupied the remaining top positions.
Acura led the Daytona 24 Hours with Colin Braun as the opening round of the IMSA SportsCar Championship hit the six-hour mark. The #60 Meyer Shank Racing Acura ARX-06 swept into the lead as the race went green after a third caution period just before the end of the hour. Braun went around the outside of the #31 Action Express Racing Cadillac V-Series.R LMDh driven by Earl Bamber into Turn 1.
The #24 dominated the early stages of the race in the hands of pole winner Dries Vanthoor. The Belgian had built up a lead of in excess of 10s by the first round of pitstops and was 25s to the good before a disastrous pitstop when he handed over to Philipp Eng. Vanthoor pulled up at an angle in his pit box, which required the car to be shunted into the correct position before the wheels and tyres could be changed.
