"IMSA Acknowledges Officiating Error in Porsche's Early Daytona 24 Victory"
The 62nd Rolex 24 at Daytona ended prematurely due to an officiating error by IMSA, which led to the checkered flag being displayed early. The leading car, No. 7 Porsche Penske Motorsports 963, received the flag with 1 minute and 35.277 seconds still remaining, effectively ending the race one lap short of the planned 24 hours. While there was a possibility of a different outcome if the race had run the full 24 hours, it is unlikely that anything would have changed in the final 30 minutes.
