You can watch live coverage the race on NBCSN until noon ET. The final two hours of race coverage will be shown on NBC and the NBC Sports app. Additionally, all 24 hours of the race will be available live on NBC Sports Gold’s TrackPass streaming service.
With four and a half hours remaining, Joao Barbosa, who is seeking his fourth overall title and fifth Rolex 24 victory, is leading the DPI category in the No. 5 Cadillac for Mustang Sampling by 4 seconds over the No. 77 Mazda currently driven by Olivier Pla.
As of 9:15 a.m. ET, Barbosa had completed 676 laps in a race that had featured only six yellow flags and went green for a stretch of several hours overnight.
The No. 10 Cadillac of defending champion Wayne Taylor Racing is running third with Ryan Briscoe, who fell from the overall lead with over five hours remaining because of a penalty for running a light in the pits. After falling a lap down, Briscoe regained the lead lap under the fifth full-course caution of the race.
Here are the leaders in the other classes: Henrik Hedman (LMP2); John Edwards (GTLM) and Dries Vanthoor (GTD).
The No. 14 Lexus, whose four-driver lineup includes two-time Cup champion Kyle Busch, is running 28th and six laps down after a 10-minute stop to change brakes.
It’s been a relatively clean race aside from a DPI shunt near the four-hour mark that left Team Penske’s Helio Castroneves apoplectic at Harry Tincknell for contact that knocked him from contention.
