The 2008 Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series EMCO Gears Classic at Mid-Ohio (that's a mouth full) turned into a very exciting day with rain rolling in as soon as the green flag fell.

The race started with groups of Daytona Prototypes as well as GT series cars off track. This would include Tom Kimber-Smith spun the No. 16 Cheever Racing Crown Royal Pontiac Coyote. John Pew spinning the No. 6 Michael Shank Racing Ford Riley to avoid Kimber-Smith, but Brad Jaeger slid the No. 77 Doran Racing Ford Dallara into Pew. Meanwhile, several other Daytona Prototypes slid off course and needed tows, including Jim Matthews in the No. 91 Riley Matthews Motorsports Pontiac Riley and JC France in the No. 59 Brumos Porsche Riley.

GT pole winner Lawson Aschenbach spun, triggering an incident that involved the No. 32 PR1 Motorsports Pontiac GXP.R of Mike Forest, the No. 67 TRG Porsche GT3 of Tim George Jr., the No. 06 Banner Racing Pontiac GXP.R of Marc Bunting and the No. 87 Farnbacher Loles Racing Porsche GT3 of Bryce Miller. Moments before the caution ended, Jon Fogarty spun and continued in the No. 99, falling from second to 23rd position overall. (info courtesy of grand-am.com)
