BMW sweeps first and second after six hours around the IMS

 After a rainy start to the six-hour Battle on the Bricks of the IMSA Weathertech Sportscar Championship, drivers Jesse Krohn and Phillip Eng led the No. 24 BMW M Hybrid V8 to victory with their sister car in second, the No. 25 BMW driven by Connor de Phillippi and Nick Yelloly.  The 2024 IMSA Battle on the Bricks, held on Sept. 22, was the second time the Weathertech Sportscar Championship raced at Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) since the championship’s inception in 2014. Still, this year’s race will be remembered for BMW’s first 1-2 finish in the GTP class since their debut in the 2023 season.
