The 72nd running of the Sebring 12 Hours concluded with a dramatic finish as Wayne Taylor Racing with Andretti secured victory. The No. 40 DEX Imaging Acura ARX-06 team, driven by Jordan Taylor, Louis Delétraz, and Colton Herta, emerged victorious in a thrilling duel against competitors in the closing minutes of the race, with Louis Delétraz passing Sebastien Bourdais under six minutes to go. Cadillac showcased strong performance throughout the weekend, initially leading the race with drivers Pipo Derani and Sebastien Bourdais.
