Perfect weather and battles all over the track greeted fans at Lime Rock Park on Saturday as the American Le Mans Series got back in action after a two-month layoff. The hunt for the LMP1 championship in the American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patrón lost none of its intensity over the break. Dyson Racing maintained its title lead with a victory in the Northeast Grand Prix, with the duo of Chris Dyson and Guy Smith exchanging the lead six times with Muscle Milk Aston Martin Racing on Saturday before taking the overall victory. BMW Team RLL also picked up where it left off, scoring its third consecutive GT victory. Dyson Racing won by 19.969 seconds over the Muscle Milk squad.
