Ricky Taylor and Filipe Albuquerque in the #10 Wayne Taylor Racing car equaled their best result of the season with second place, repeating the position achieved on the streets of Detroit. The podium was completed by the #60 Acura Meyer Shank Racing of Tom Blomqvist and Colin Braun, who recovered ground after starting from the rear of the grid.
