Despite a one hour and four-minute delay in track repairs, Saturday’s Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta showcased some monumental finishes on the track in Braselton. Olivier Pla and Luis Felipe Derani in the JS P2 Honda race car took the Petit Le Mans with a 1-2 punch, respectively, and brought Michael Shank Racing a monumental victory in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship — a fitting farewell for the team’s DP prototype. Fellow teammate Oswaldo Negri Jr. considered this team win as sweet revenge for their previous losses.
