The statistics might suggest it was a casual flag-to-flag Saturday drive for Antonio Garcia and Alexander Sims in the IMSA Chevrolet Detroit Sports Car Classic, but it was far from it.
After starting from pole in the GTD Pro class on the around the nine-turn, 1.645-mile temporary street circuit, Sims set the tone early and built a gap on his rivals behind the wheel of the #3 Corvette Z06 GT3.R for Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports. Nearing the one-hour mark in the 100-minute sprint race, Sims handed off to Garcia, who carefully carved through backmarker traffic and remained out front until a caution came out with 20 minutes to go.
