Workman, Gonzalez keep title hopes alive at Indianapolis

The no.028 RS1 Porsche of Spencer Pumpelly ran third in the opening stint, looked to be in great position for Luca Mars but a left front puncture ended the teams hope of clinching the championship early, dropping them down 13th overall and 6th in class. Pro-Am honors went to the Blackdog Racing McLaren of Michael Cooper and Tony Gaples. Nolan Allaer crossed the line fourth overall and second in class but after a post race time penalty for having a two short of a pit stop dropped the no.77 MMR Mustang. The no.7 ACI Motorsports Porsche of Yves Baltas and Trenton Estep complete the silver class podium.
