The number 2 David Roberts/Ray Evernham CRP Motorsports Audi R8 LMS, with Evernham behind the wheel, spun and the car wouldn't restart, causing a full course caution midway through the race. The car was retired. **“We've had battery problems on both stints,"** said Evernham, the crew chief who took NASCAR's Jeff Gordon to stardom. **“I'm not sure we'll take it back out."**
