As the team continued its dominant start to the 2025 IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar championship, Roger Penske came out and hailed Porsche for its efforts, and shared his feelings about the win. The $5.6B-worth team owner said:

“It was a team effort, and all the drivers were on their game today. The Porsche 963 was outstanding. You could see it just got better and better as the weather got cooler. Smart work in the pits, good job, no issues there. Coming in 1-2 here after it’s been a long time since we won this race. Just an amazing day.”

With 30 minutes to go, the cars went back to green flag racing, and the Brazilian managed to create a comfortable gap to the #6 Porsche driven by Mathieu Jaminet, Matt Campbell, and Kevin Estre to take the win.
