Post-race

Jaminet was pleased with his win after overcoming disappoint since the Watkins Glen round: "I’ve been very disappointed since Watkins Glen. We’ve had only — pretty much — bad races. And looking at it, it still hurts. So we finally get a win back, and that put us back on the championship hunt. And I’m just hungry for more, to be honest. I just want to go to Atlanta now and race." ^[42] Derani explained his overtaking of the No. 6 and No. 7 Porsches behind the safety car: "We were on top of the rules. I tried to overtake the 7, he kind of blocked me. I think he was trying to give the 6 a chance to go, and then obviously the 6 didn’t go – and I just went. We’re just trying to follow the rules to the best of our ability. Sometimes miscommunications happen, which probably was the case. I think IMSA did the right thing on the call. If the car in front of you don’t go, and you’ve given them enough time…then it is what it is." ^[44]

Thomas praised his teammate, Jensen for securing the No. 11 TDS team victory in LMP2. ^[51] Mantella called his LMP3 win "a dream come true": "When I think back to Daytona, it is one of the greatest moments of my life – especially to be driving with such professionals. And Indy is on that bucket list. To kiss the bricks after a win is every kid’s dream. Everybody that did it – (team owner) Andrew Wojteczko, Wayne and myself – we all did it with tears in our eyes because it means that much." ^[51] Gounon admitted his was surprised by Bacher changing lanes at the start: “I was on the radio about that right away. I knew there was going to be a penalty, so I immediately backed out of it and that opened the door for us. I think it would have been a difficult fight for us, but we were up for it." ^[50] Snow said it was nice to secure the GTD Drivers' Championship 1 race early: "Petit Le Mans is a very, very long race, and it’s a lot of stress off our shoulders, knowing that at Petit, we can just enjoy racing. But that’s due to all the hard work Paul Miller Racing put in going into this weekend knowing that if we perform the absolute best we did this weekend, we will be able to relax the next weekend. Indy has been awesome." ^[39]

As a result of winning the race, Jaminet and Tandy advanced from fourth to third in the GTP Drivers' Championship. Derani and Sims jumped from second to first while Filipe Albuquerque and Ricky Taylor dropped from first to second. Campbell and Nasr advanced from seventh to fifth. ^[52] As a result of winning the race, Jensen and Thomas took the lead of the LMP2 Drivers' Championship. ^[52] The result kept Robinson atop the LMP3 Drivers' Championship. ^[52] As a result of winning the race, Gounon and Juncadella advanced from fourth to third in the GTD Pro Drivers' Championship. ^[52] By finishing in third place, Sellers and Snow clinched the GTD Drivers' Championship with 1 race remaining as De Angelis and Sørensen were 405 points behind, with 385 points available. ^{[53] [54]} Lexus and BMW continued to lead their respective Manufactures' Championships while Porsche took the lead of the GTP Manufactures' Championship. ^[52] Riley Motorsports, Vasser Sullivan Racing, and Paul Miller Racing kept their respective advantages in their respective of Teams' Championships. Porsche Penske Motorsport and TDS Racing became the leaders of their respective class Teams' Championships with one round remaining in the season. ^[52]
