On Sunday, the No. 7 Porsche Penske Motorsport Porsche 963, with drivers Felipe Nasr and Dane Cameron, survived a wet and unpredictable Sahlen’s Six Hours of The Glen by winning the race at Watkins Glen International.
The Sahlen’s Six Hours of The Glen was the 55th anniversary of the IMSA Racing Series at the 3.4-mile, 11-turn permanent road course.
About 4 hours into the race, it was halted for almost 30 minutes due to four hours of heavy rain that made the track undrivable. But the rain let up, and the racing continued with just 16 minutes remaining.
On the restart, Nasr passed leader Louis Deletraz in the No. 40 Wayne Taylor Racing into Turn 1 on the restart and went on to win by 0.749 seconds over Renger van der Zande in the No. 01 Cadillac Racing Cadillac V-Series.R.
This was the second of the season for Nasr, Cameron. The No. 7 Porsche team won the season-opening Rolex 24 At Daytona.
Cameron earned his 17th career IMSA top-tier series win, Nasr his 10th, and Team Penske’s 38th win.
