After a return to 500 km, the race was cancelled for 1994. It was again revived in 2000, by the Grand American Road Racing Championship, at a 500-mile distance. The race has been an American Le Mans Series event since 2002, and after 2003 has been a 2 hour, 45 minute race (with the exception of 2007 and 2008, when 4 hours were scheduled). Porsche have won the event nine times, most recently in 2007. Augie Pabst, Chuck Parsons, and Geoff Brabham have each won three times as drivers.
