Dyson Racing ended their thirtieth anniversary year and the final race of the American Le Mans Series with a second place P1 finish at the Petit Le Mans Powered by Mazda at Road Atlanta held on 19th of October. The nine and a half hour, thousand mile race produced eight yellow periods and alternated between wet and dry track conditions for the first four hours. The #16 Lola Mazda of Chris Dyson, Tony Burgess and Chris McMurry ran strongly through it all and ended the season on a high note.

The Dyson entry started from the back of the grid, having elected to change the tires they qualified on. Chris Dyson started the car and moved from thirty-fourth to third by his second pit stop. Variable track conditions were still the norm when Tony Burgess started his first stint, getting in the car at the two-hour mark and dealing with the challenging weather. By the time Chris McMurry got in the car a little after the four-hour mark, it was mostly dry and he ran consistently fast laps, helping the car advance up the running order. Dyson returned to the controls after the six-hour mark, and turned the fastest race lap for the car forty minutes later, 1:12.626 on lap 277. Burgess got back behind the wheel two hours later. His run was punctuated by a memorable save when a tire went down after being hit in the rear and he spun down the front straight but managed to keep the car from hitting the wall. McMurry was in the car for the last rotation when the car was retired five laps from the end with burned wiring from header heat, which the team believed was the result of contact earlier in the evening.

The 2013 ALMS season started in March with the 12 Hours of Sebring and ended with the 1000 mile Petit Le Mans this weekend. Dyson Racing finished the season second in the P1 Team Championship. Tony Burgess and Chris McMurry were third in the Drivers Championship, followed by Chris Dyson fourth and Guy Smith fifth. Over the past fifteen years of the ALMS, Dyson Racing has five driver’s and team championships, nine overall wins, seventeen class wins, twenty-five overall poles, thirty- four class poles, forty-four overall podiums and forty-two class podiums.
