The YouTube channel posted a 17-minute compilation video of . The footage was largely sourced from broadcast and fan footage posted online. In all, the compilation gives a decent summary of the Camaro’s week in France through practice, qualifying and the race.

The Garage 56 team was proud of their accomplishment of completing the legendary race. Chad Knaus, Hendrick Motorsports’ Vice President of Competition and Garage 56 head, said in a release:

“I feel like we had already captured the trophy right when they dropped the green flag. The thing I’m most proud of is that this wasn’t really anybody but a few people’s full-time job. Everybody accepted this task as a passion project and something that they wanted to participate in. And when you get people like that put together, you can do anything.”

Garage 56 Driver Jimmie Johnson said, “The fan reception – whether it was at the parade, or on the cool-down lap just now. Even the corner marshals were going nuts. Everything was just incredible.” Johnson and Knaus won seven championships together as driver and crew chief in the NASCAR Cup Series and even they know the enormity of what the Garage 56 program meant to undertake.
