Nick Tandy leads the 63rd Rolex 24 At Daytona for Porsche Penske Motorsport after the first full course yellow of the race, which was triggered by Hunter McElrea's slide into the tire barriers at West Horseshoe.

Tandy's No. 7 Porsche 963 secured the lead with an impressive outside pass around Frederik Vesti at the kink during the restart. The BMW M Team RLL cars follow closely, with Rene Rast in second (No. 25) and Philipp Eng in third (No. 24).
