The trio of Luke Hines (London, England), John McMullen (Spring Lake, N.J.) and Bryce Miller (Summit, N.J.) survived a chilly six-hour race on the 2.238-mile Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca road course to finish fifth in the GTC class. Their No. 48 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car was supported by Marquis Jet, Grand Prix Racewear, IPC Systems, TOTAL Petroleum, Bergen County Auto Group and Macha Racing.
Miller started the race from fifth on the GTC grid and immediately gained a position before stopping for fuel during the first caution period. The stop dropped him back to seventh and he lost another position and a lap serving a penalty for a missed communication as he exited pit lane. But he steadily worked back up to third and regained the lap before handing off to McMullen.
