3:32 pm ET - Race Update

3:32 pm - Marc Lieb in No. 45 is now in P 2, No. 71 in P 3.

3:25 pm - Positions are: P 1 No. 62; P 2 No. 71; P 3 No. 45; P 4 No. 86; P 5 No. 85. The No. 44 is back on track but in P 17.

3:22 pm ET - The No. 44 pits one more time for a final inspection. Darren says that the car feels pretty good.

3:18 ET - Johannes radios in that a tire is going down. luckily, he is close to pit in and the crew calls him in for an early stop and driver change to Marc Lieb

3:17 pm - Johannes reports that the No. 71 Tafel Porsche has gotten by him in traffic. That puts the No. 45 in P3. Johannes will pit in a few laps for driver change to Marc Lieb, tires and fuel.

3:14 pm ET - Darren stays out but reports that the car is not handling well, but appears safe. With the major repair that was required to get the car back on track, it will be very difficult, if not impossible for the crew to get the car into complete alignment.

3:00 pm ET - The No. 44 is back on track again after nearly 2 hours off track, but Darren reports continued problems with the car. The crew calls him back in and crew chief Tommy Sadler and No. 45 head mechanic Roger Reis will go over the wall to see if they can determine the problem.
