"It's nice to have the experience to close a race," Miller commented, "Farnbacher Loles did a great job giving us a good car today. I thought Robin had me there in the bus stop, but I was really pleased to see these results. Since Dirk and I have been apart, we've had a bit of a dry spell, so it's very special to share this."

Third marked a sixth podium finish in seven races for Liddell and co-driver Andrew Davis in the #57 Stevenson Motorsports Pontiac GXP.R.

"We weren't very confident about getting a superb result tonight, and finishing on the podium is a bonus for us," the Scot admitted, "We're not our strongest on this circuit, so coming out of here with a third place is really a big result. The most important thing for us is putting some pressure on the #07 Pontiac car, the point leaders. So this is good for us and I'm really happy."

Paul Edwards and Kelly Collins finished fourth in the aforementioned #07 Banner Racing Pontiac GXP.R, and maintained their lead in the GT championship standings, with Ham and Tremblay 24 points behind and Liddell and Davis 30 points back.

Ross Smith, driving the #30 Racers Edge Motorsports Mazda RX-8 started by Craig Stone, was involved in an incident with seven laps remaining when he spun after contact with Dalziel. Smith's car was then struck head-on by the #97 Stevenson Motorsports Corvette of Jeff Bucknum, who co-drove with James Gue. Smith joined Segal in the infield care centre, before being released with just bruising to his knee.
