Round 6 of the 2011 GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series, the Sahlen's Six Hours of the Glen took place at Watkins Glen International raceway on June 4. With the green flag set to wave just a few days after the Memorial Day Classic, teams had little time to prepare their cars for the six hour endurance.

SpeedSource's #69 FXDD Mazda RX-8 reclaimed a podium spot with a solid 3rd place finish with the #70 Castrol Edge Mazda RX-8 finishing in 10th.
Dempsey Racing's James Gue and Dane Cameron finished 8th with the #41 Team Seattle/Global Diving & Salvage Mazda RX-8 GT, just one spot ahead of the team's #40 VISIT FLORIDA/ModSpace/Construct Corps/Trina Solar Mazda RX-8 GT that was driven to ninth by Patrick Dempsey, Joe Foster and Charles Espenlaub.
Team Sahlen's Gidley and Nonnamaker finished 7th with the #42 Mazda RX-8 GT.

Typical in the last few races, weather played another integral role in the start of this race. After two days of nearly perfect New York weather, heavy rain was in the forecast for the start of the race. Tremblay, who qualified the #70 RX-8 from 6th, started the car in the wet. Emil Assentato started the #69 RX-8 from 11th.The rain slowed much of the opening laps of the race behind the pace car. The caution period allowed many drivers to settle and adapt to the conditions before the restart. Assentato drove a clean opening stint before pitting for the first scheduled pit stop. Segal and temporary co-driver Guy Cosmo would complete the remaining hours of the race with the two exchanging double stints. Segal would ultimately saddle in for the final stint to battle for position until crossing the finish line in 3rd place.

The #70 RX-8 was on pace for a strong finish as well until an early race incident forced an unscheduled pit stop. A rear damper had come apart causing the suspension to collapse. The crew quickly assessed the problem and installed a replacement unit. With a 'never give-up' mentality, the drivers and crew put their focus on completing the race and finished with a 10th place position.
