Kevin Estre still leads a Porsche Penske Motorsport 1-2 at Daytona, though it’s not gone all to plan in the last hour.
Estre only overtook teammate Felipe Nasr minutes ago into Turn 1, after the Frenchman made a rare mistake going into the Le Mans chicane — he missed the corner and had to take the designated escape road.
That put the No. 7 Porsche 963 of Nasr ahead for a while, but now the No. 6 Porsche is back in front of the No. 7 which received a warning for an unsafe pit release in the path of the No. 31 Cadillac Whelen car.
The No. 24 Team RLL BMW M Hybrid V8 has jumped the No. 60 Meyer Shank Racing Acura ARX-06 for third place. Philipp Eng and Scott Dixon have relieved Dries Vanthoor and Felix Rosenqvist in their respective cars.
The sun will rise soon. Only 7 Hours to race.
Here is a recap of what you might of missed overnight.
