WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (AP) Richard Westbrook and Michael Valiante won the rainy Sahlen's Six Hours of The Glen under caution Sunday for their second TUDOR United SportsCar Championship victory of the year.

Westbrook and Valiante, driving the No. 90 VisitFlorida.com Chevrolet Corvette Daytona Prototype, moved into the season lead, five points ahead of Joao Barbosa and Christian Fittipaldi.

''I don't know if we had the pace the other leaders had today,'' Valiante said, ''but we tried to keep our heads down and stay out of trouble.''

Joey Hand and Scott Pruett were second in the No. 01 Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates Ford EcoBoost Riley, and Barbosa and Fittipaldi followed in the No. 5 Action Express Corvette DP.

The No. 8 Starworks Prototype Challenge driven by Renger van der Zande, Alex Popow and Mike Hedlund was fourth overall and first in the class.

In GT Le Mans, Wolf Henzler nursed the No. 17 Team Falken Porsche 911 RSR home on fumes, counting on the fuel-saving caution period to give him enough gas to complete the race. He teamed with Bryan Sellers. In GT Daytona, the No. 93 Riley Motorsports Dodge Viper SRT GT3-R driven by Al Carter, Cameron Lawrence and Marc Goossens topped the field.
