An officiating error by IMSA led to the chequered flag being shown one lap early, but the mistake almost certainly had no bearing on the result as Felipe Nasr, Matt Campbell, Dane Cameron and Josef Newgarden took victory for Porsche Penske Motorsport even though the car was short-fuelled at its final pitstop.
Raul Prados, lead engineer on the winning #7 Porsche 963 LMDh prototype, explained that the car was fuelled in the expectation that the race could run to as many as 793 laps, two more than the 791 after which the flag was waved.
