Andretti Green Racing's Tony Kanaan beat DeFerran Motorsport's Simon Pagenaud by a thrilling five one-hundredths of a second, the closest finish in ALMS history. For the overall season, Acura took first place in the LMP2 class in 6 out of 11 races and reached the LMP2 podium in 9 races. As a testament to the Acura ARX-01b's capability, each of the four Acura teams reached the class podium multiple times. In fact, in two of the races, Acura placed first overall—even ahead of the LMP1 class. In 2009, Acura will return to ALMS to compete in both LMP1 and LMP2 classes, as Patron Highcroft Racing and Deferran Motorsports will jump to the LMP1 class.
