#96 BMW GTD car crashes as we go to commercial. Full course yellow.

Not the BMW's fault—one of the prototypes clipped a Ferrari, who then hit the BMW.

The #55 Mazda pits and promptly looses a tire.

#3 Corvette has spun coming out of the pits and hit the wall. Substantial damage. Coming around under yellow.

They may be done—I may be done.

Garcia quote:

"It probably went from one of my best races of my career to the most embarrassing moment of my career"

Yep.

The #4 car (and specifically Tommy Milner) should get a credit for the #3's championship.
