We're up at Speedgeek HQ, and having taken a little time to survey what's happened overnight (and getting in a cup of coffee, so as to hopefully have a better chance of stringing together a few coherent sentences here), it appears that while plenty happened overnight, we're in much the same state as where we left off some 9-10 hours ago. The #31 Whelen Cadillac hit problems overnight and now sits about 18 laps behind the leaders, while the #24 BMW, the #6 Porsche and the #10 Acura have all had issues that have dropped them several laps behind as well. Up front, it's the #60 Meyer Shank Acura and the #01 Ganassi Cadillac on the lead lap, with the #02 Ganassi Cadillac lurking just a lap behind.
Clustered behind those seven top GTPs, there are still eight LMP2s, with roughly four of those (the #04 Crowdstrike Racing by APR, the #35 TDS Racing, the #88 AF Corse, and the #52 PR1 Mathiasen Motorsports) on the lead lap. The #17 AWA Duqueine leads LMP3 by about eight laps, with 3rd in class about another 8-9 laps behind.
Meanwhile, in the GT classes, the top-4 in both GTD-Pro and the top-6 in GTD are bundled on the same lap or two, as pit stops ebb and flow. As I type, the #27 Aston Martin leads GTD and the #3 Corvette leads GTD-Pro, but these positions change and scramble seemingly with almost every lap.
We've got four hours to go. It'll be time for some waffles here shortly, and then settling in for the final run to the flag just 1:30 Eastern. Should be interesting all the way to the checkers!
