In Sunday's Race, Kox jumped to seventh in the No. 93. “I had my best start of the season,” Kox said. “I was up to seventh. The car was quite different from Saturday. We were very competitive and I was really happy with the performance.” Behind him, Eversley had nowhere to go when a damaged McLaren was blocking the track. He made heavy contact with the McLaren, ending his race.
“I was nose-to-tail with a couple cars and we moved out in Turn Two like you normally do and when the seas parted, there was a McLaren parked in the road,” Eversley recalled. “I was coming with a full head of steam. I tried as hard as I could to stop and turn right, but I hit the McLaren at a high rate of speed and that caused a large amount of damage, so we weren’t able to continue.”
At the close of the 2017 Pirelli World Challenge season, Kox ended up ninth in the GT Sprint points, while Eversley finished the season in 13th. RealTime Acura was sixth in the Team Championship.
