Lucas Luhr and Klaus Graf rallied from four laps down to win the American Le Mans Series' Northeast Grand Prix on Saturday for Muscle Milk Pickett Racing.

Luhr and Graf, driving Honda Performance Development's ARX-03a prototype, ran their winning streak to three and padded their championship lead.

Dyson Racing's Chris Dyson and Guy Smith were second in a Lola B12/60 Mazda.

After falling behind because of shifting problems that forced a long pit stop, the Muscle Milk drivers fought their way back and Graf passed Smith for the lead with a little under than 30 minutes left.
