In IMSA, a close fight between and for the overall victory at the Six Hours of the Glen came down to post-race inspection. Ross Chastain led nearly a third of the NASCAR Cup Series race in Nashville en route to victory. And, Formula E’s went down to the final lap.

The overall winner of this year’s Sahlen’s Six Hours of The Glen was decided hours after the checkered flag was waved. Initially, the No. 6 Porsche Penske Motorsport won the race after taking the lead during the final five minutes. However, IMSA determined that the No. 6 Porsche’s skid block was less than the minimum thickness required in post-race inspection.

No. 25 BMW M Hybrid V8, driven by Nick Yelloly and Connor De Phillippi, inherited the victory as the Porsche was relegated to the rear of the GTP field. Porsche has stated it plans to collect all of the data and follow protest procedures.

Pecco Bagnaia Reclaims MotoGP Season Dominance With Dutch TT Win

After coming second to a Ducati satellite rider at the German Grand Prix and Saturday’s sprint race, Francesco Bagnaia reasserted the factory team’s preeminence and won the Dutch TT. Bagnaia was joined on the podium by a non-Ducati rider on Sunday, but not the one who crossed the line in third. KTM’s Brad Binder was relegated to fourth by the race stewards because of a track limits violation on the final lap, giving the last podium place to Aprilia’s Aleix Espargaro.

Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati)

Marco Bezzecchi (VR46) -+1.223 seconds

Aleix Espargaro (Aprilia) -+1.925 seconds

Brad Binder (KTM) -+1.528 seconds

Jorge Martin (Pramac) -+1.934 seconds

The FIA Formula E World Championship’s was also its first trip to a permanent road course without any significant alterations. The electric cars in qualifying ran faster lap times at Portland International Raceway than IndyCar. The pace was slower during the race as the drivers jockeyed for position and conserved energy for a late-race push. By the end, Envision Racing’s Nick Cassidy was able to take the lead and build a large enough gap not to get drafted past.

Antonio Felix da Costa (Porsche) - +1.140 seconds

Mitch Evans (Jaguar) - +1.758 seconds
