I watched the last 6-7 hours of the race. The top 4 cars in the lead lap battled the whole way that I saw. Juan Pablo Montoya took the lead with about 1 1/2 hours to go but Donahue took the lead for good shortly after the last pit stop (45 minutes left ??) but Montoya was never more than 2 seconds behind. Incredible finish for a 24 hour race.
