In GT competition, CORE autosport bounced back from disappointing DNF at Circuit of The Americas for Patrick Long to lead the competition ahead of the No.91 and No.92 SRT Vipers.

CORE debuted a brand new car at COTA after their previous tub was destroyed in the dramatic Baltimore start-line crash. After a strong race start, Long and new co-driver Colin Braun failed to finish due to a gearbox issue.
