The American Le Mans Series went to Road America two weekends back. You've read the recaps, you've watched the epic last laps, now check out the best pictures of the race. There's the new Viper GTS-R facing off against Corvettes, Ferraris, and Porsches.
These shots are by the excellent Halston Pitman of MotorSportMedia, who you've already seen covering the Grand-Am circus as it crosses the country.

Of course, if you haven't seen the bitter fight for the lead between Guy Smith in the Dyson Racing Lola Mazda and Lucas Luhr in the Muscle Milk HPD Honda, watch it now.
Luhr charged from way back all the way up to second, but struggled to make his way ahead of Smith in the Mazda. Luhr finally made his move on the last corner of the last lap and made it past, but Smith had a better run to the finishing line. At 0.083 seconds it was the closest finish in ALMS history, and the kind of racing that we normally only find in the GT class.
The Rahal Letterman BMW of Bill Auberlen and Jörg Müller sealed up that GT race ahead of a mess of other cars. The order went RLL BMW, Flying Lizard Porsche, Patrol-liveried EMS Ferrari 458s, and Corvette Racing C6 ZR1.
