Defending champion Scott Pruett took the lead in the closing minutes of the second race of the 2011 Grand-Am Rolex Championship to win a fifth consecutive series' race, in Homestead-Miami, on Saturday evening.
"The teams got their money's worth out of their drivers today," said the winner after the race.
Pruett led the last seven laps to win ahead of Darren Law - who, himself, took the second place with only three minutes to go in the race. Law co-drove the No. 05 Porsche/Riley with David Donohue.
Poor Max Angelelli, who had led a race-high 47 laps with co-driver Ricky Taylor, had to settled for third after being successively passed by Pruett and Law.
Bill Auberlen led 80 of the last 82 laps to win the GT division race with his BMW M3 No. 94 he shared with Paul Dalla Lana. It was Dalla Lana's first series' victory and Auberlen's 21st.
Defending class champions Jeff Segal and Emil Assentato finished in second position on board of their Mazda RX-8.
The Dane Jan Magnussen's Chevrolet Camaro co-driven by Robin Liddell, who had taken the pole, had to retire with mechanical problem after a contact in the race.
