Nasr credits Penske for crucial Daytona pitstop, "confused" with chequered flag timing

The 31-year-old Brazilian lost the lead to Cadillac Racing’s Tom Blomqvist with 72 minutes remaining in the twice-around-the-clock endurance classic, but a late caution ultimately set up the race-deciding pitstop.

Both drivers short filled, but it was Nasr’s #7 Porsche Penske Motorsports 963 that emerged ahead from the pits to reclaim the lead.
