Porsche clinches third straight Daytona 24 Hours in fog-delayed dramatic finish

Porsche Penske Motorsport won the 2026 Daytona 24 Hours for a third consecutive year after a late, fog-delayed fight with the Cadillac Whelan entry; the #7 car driven by Nasr, Andlauer and Heinrich held off the #31 Cadillac (Aitken, Bamber, Vesti, Zilisch) as a record-long night-time full-course-yellow stalled the race for about seven hours, with the #24 BMW M Team WRT taking third. In LMP2, CrowdStrike Racing by APR topped the class, followed by Inter Europol Competition in second and third. GTD Pro was won by Paul Miller Racing, while Winward Racing claimed the GTD class with the #57 car, followed by Magnus Racing and Heart of Racing Team.
