The Race in Brief

Muscle Milk Pickett Racing scored a victory for the ages at Lime Rock Park on Saturday. Lucas Luhr and Klaus Graf came from four laps down to win the American Le Mans Northeast Grand Prix. It was the second victory at Lime Rock Park for the Muscle Milk team but first with Honda Performance Development’s ARX-03a prototype.

The comeback thwarted Dyson Racing’s efforts for a second straight win on its home track. A late-race, full-course caution period with 10 minutes left sealed the Muscle Milk win. Graf – who made the winning pass on Guy Smith with a little less than 30 minutes left – and Luhr extended their winning streak to three races as well as their P1 championship lead.

Jörg Bergmeister and Patrick Long won in GT for Flying Lizard Motorsports in a fantastic fight with Corvette Racing and Extreme Speed Motorsports.

Scott Tucker held off Martin Plowman in a thrilling P2 battle as Level 5 Motorsports won for the fourth time in as many races.

CORE autosport’s duo of Jon Bennett and Colin Braun won in Prototype Challenge for the second straight race and led a 1-2 finish for the team. Braun moved from third to first in his ORECA FLM09 with 55 minutes left and led the rest of the way.

Cooper MacNeil and Leh Keen won GT Challenge from pole position for the team’s first victory of the season. Four different Porsche 911 GT3 RSRs led throughout the race but Keen made the winning pass with 45 minutes remaining by getting around JDX Racing’s Chris Cumming.
