The second-place finish for Liddell and Andrew Davis tightened the GT points race heading into the season finale. The pair entered the event third in the team points, trailing Kelly Collins and Paul Edwards by 16 points, but when the Banner Racing duo finished only ninth the gap closed to just five.

"We knew it was going to be a crazy race, so I got in and took it easy the first part of my stint and just let things happen," Liddell revealed, "The second half of my stint, I began to charge and was able to overtake the #67 at the exit of turn one and lead - but he got by me again on power down the front straight. I thought I had a good run on him later and then, with ten laps to go, I got pushed wide in the last turn by two Daytona Prototypes and that was it. But we had a great points finish, the car was excellent and now we go into the last race with a chance at the championship."

Nick Ham and Sylvain Tremblay entered the event second in the team points, but struggled with an oil leak and only placed 16th in the #70 SpeedSource Castrol Mazda RX-8. They now head to the final round twelve points behind the leaders.

Ryan Phinny led 34 laps early in the event in the #21 Matt Connolly Motorsports Pontiac GTO.R, with Diego Alessi taking third on the final lap to give the team its third third-place finish of the campaign.
