LMP2 is the middle between three \u201cprototype\u201d They were the only classes in this series and put on an amazing show on the final lap for the class win.<\/p>\n<p>First, consider how amazing it is to be able to win after 24 hours racing, weathering technical difficulties, and keeping your nose clear, two cars are even within striking distance of each other.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what we had on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>Two LMP2 teams were in contention for the win on the final lap. Crowdstrike Racing, by APR, had Ben Hanley as the driver. Proton Competition had James Allen at the wheel for the final stint.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"717\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/GettyImages-1246649249.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-498117\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/GettyImages-1246649249.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/GettyImages-1246649249-300x210-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/GettyImages-1246649249-768x538-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/GettyImages-1246649249-265x186.jpg 265w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/GettyImages-1246649249-531x372-1.jpg 531w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/GettyImages-1246649249-561x393-1.jpg 561w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/GettyImages-1246649249-364x255-1.jpg 364w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/GettyImages-1246649249-728x510-1.jpg 728w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/GettyImages-1246649249-608x426-1.jpg 608w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/GettyImages-1246649249-758x531-1.jpg 758w, https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/GettyImages-1246649249-69x48.jpg 69w, https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/GettyImages-1246649249-137x96.jpg 137w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/GettyImages-1246649249-600x420-1.jpg 600w\"   style=\"display:none\"><figcaption>Proton Competition claimed a remarkable last-second LMP2 victory in the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona.

But Hanley skillfully used every inch to keep speed through the straight-hander and force Allen back from any potential moves.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll admit, at this point, I thought that was all she wrote. Crowdstike Racing, Hanley and Crowdstike Racing created a large gap through the infield and back onto oval. I thought for sure they\u2019d be able to maintain that lead to the checkered flag.<\/p>\n<p> However, down the backstretch and through the Le Mans chicane \u2014 AKA the Bus Stop \u2014 Hanley encountered lapped traffic.<\/p>\n<p>Surely, the immortal words of Lloyd Christmas echoed through James Allen\u2019s head: \u201cSo you\u2019re telling me there\u2019s a chance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Allen grabbed a slipstream out of the class-leading LMP3 car, and used it to beat Hanley into the trioval. The result was amazing in photos.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><\/figure>\n<p>The distance between the cars was only 11 hundredths second after 24 hours. Referring to the above, a typical blink is about three-tenths second.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s absolutely unreal.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, this was not the race to win the overall. That went to Meyer Shank Racing\u2019s Acura ARX-0 driven by Tom Blomqvist, Colin Braun, and IndyCar vets Simon Pageneaud and Helio Castroneves. The win marked Castroneves\u2019 third-straight Rolex 24 victory.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Follow on Twitter: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Matt_Reigle\">@Matt_Reigle<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OutKick Videos The Rolex 24 Hours Of Daytona This weekend saw 24 hours of sports cars rattling windows in order to kick off the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.
