Cadillac also makes it to the podium with a third-place finish in the Hypercar class.
When Jimmie Johnson and the Hendrick Motorsports ZL1 completed its 285th and final circuit of the 8.5-mile track, it comprised a victory lap given the team’s goal to be running at the checkers as an innovative Garage 56 entry.
The modified NASCAR Cup car became only the second to complete the race in the 11-year history of the Garage 56 invitations. NASCAR Chairman and CEO Jim France, who initiated the program in conjunction with the Automobile Club de l’Ouest, invoked the memory of NASCAR founder “Big Bill” France, his father, and his brother Bill, who promoted NASCAR’s last visit to the French circuit in 1976.
Only a brake pad change and then a drive-line issue that required one hour to repair prevented the team from finishing among the GTE Am class leaders. The Camaro was running behind nine of those entries at the end and was 39th among the 62 starters.
