I’ve been watching the race since it started, it’s going to be a great battle So glad it’s on velocity and not FS1 and FS2 this year. I hated it when they kept switching back and forth in prior years.

Thank heavens that the Velocity Channel has extracted the LeMans rights from Fox Sports, and is airing the entire 24 hours. That was the case when it was Speed TV, which aired a lot of racing before being sold and becoming Velocity ("The Automotive Reality TV Show Channel). Maybe they're returning somewhat to their roots.
Over the last couple of years when Fox had it, I was constantly switching between FS1, FS2, and streaming on FSGO, but that was annoying, and FSGO had a lot of technical glitches causing a lot of interruptions to the stream.

They did. Ricky Taylor was leading in #63 (#3 in IMSA WeatherTech series) on the last lap, but apparently damaged a tire earlier by going slightly off track in a previous lap and was overtaken by one of the AMs.

I just started watching it on the Velocity stream. Does anyone know why the 64 car is 8 laps down? I heard race control come on and say they lost part of their aero floor, but nobody said if that was the reason for the 8 lap deficit or if it's more recent.

One of my fondest memories was going to mid Ohio and hanging out on the grid and talking to the team and drivers before the race. So much fun and really nice guys.
The team lives all over, lots of local guys in michigan so we talked about the local area some. Just cool.
