Holbert and Al Unser Jr. Combine for IMSA Win at Daytona Beach
Al Holbert and Al Unser Jr. combined Sunday to win the season-ending Eastern 3-Hour International Motor Sports Assn. Camel GT sports car race at Daytona Beach, Fla.
To take his ninth victory of the season, Holbert, driving a Porsche 962 prototype, had to battle Hurley Haywood, piloting a Jaguar XJR-5 prototype, throughout most of the final hour at Daytona International Speedway.
However, with both cars reportedly low on fuel, Haywood slowed a bit in the final 10 minutes and Holbert won by 8.36 seconds.
Unser, starting third on the 74-car grid, drove the first half of the race before giving way to Holbert.
