Sebring Hour 6: Van der Zande leads in #01 Cadillac at halfway mark

Renger van der Zande had the #01 Chip Ganassi out front at the halfway mark of the 12 Hours of Sebring endurance race. The #01 led the #55 Mazda of Oliver Jarvis by a comfortable 23 seconds.

Oliver Pla was 3rd in the #60 Meyer Shank Racing Acura, but Alexander Rossi was closing in the #10 Wayne Taylor Acura. The #10 had to make an extra stop when a fuel hose was still partially engaged when Rossi was sent out too early when he first got in the car. Rossi is turning laps as fast as the leading Cadillac and is closing on the 2nd and 3rd place cars.
