Butch Leitzinger and Elliot Forbes-Robinson drove the #4 [[w:Pontiac|Pontiac]] Crawford GTO into victory lane at [[w:Daytona International Speedway|Daytona International Speedway]] late Thursday night as the winner of the Grand American Rolex Sports Car Series Brumos Porsche 250.  Early in the race, the #66 car driven by Jorg Bergmeister and Max Papis passed the #10 car in the pole position, maintaining the lead positions for most of the race.

The second caution at lap 32 occurred after a car spun on the infield.  The caution lasted 3 laps, and only two laps later a two-car crash happened, sending the race into its third caution.  The #06 car, driven by Rob Dyson and Harrison Brix, lost a portion of the car's hood on lap 43 and had to pit, causing the car to drop down a lap.

The Howard-Boss Motorsports #4 car stole the lead position from the #19 Finlay Motorsports car at lap 47, a position it would hold for the remainder of the race. The #10 car with drivers Wayne Taylor and Max Angelelli silently climbed back up to the 2nd position with 17 laps to go.  The debuting #65 Pontiac GTO car, sponsored by Auto Gallery, was hit on the backstretch in the left front tire, causing him to spin and hit the wall with 14 laps to go.  A similar event happened five laps later when another car spun out.  Neither instances resulted in a caution.
