Who said that the NASCAR Garage 56 entry wasn't going to do anything at Le Mans?

The Hendrick Motorsports Crew was on the top step of the podium on Tuesday after winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans Pit Stop Challenge. The team finished fifth overall, but topped 16 teams in the GTE class.

The five-person over-the-wall crew changed four Goodyear Eagle tires in 10.364 seconds. Runner-up Northwest AMR was 0.12 second slower. The Hendrick squad was just 0.3 second from the overall all-class win.
