LEXINGTON, Ohio -- Frank Biela and Emanuele Pirro of Italy won the American Le Mans race in their Audi R8 Prototype at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course on Sunday.

Biela and Pirro beat Tom Kristensen and Rinaldo Capello, whose Audi R8 ran out of fuel on the last lap of the event, by 6.248 seconds.

Kristensen, who did not pit during the final caution period in the 2-hour, 45-minute race and gained the lead, was about 2 seconds ahead of Pirro when he started the final lap. But the engine sputtered entering Turn 3, allowing Pirro to pass him. With the engine stopping and starting, Kristensen managed to coast around the 13-turn circuit and finish second.

Jeff Bucknum of Lake Havasu, Ariz., Chris McMurry of Phoenix and Bryan Willman of Kirkland, Wash., co-drove a Pilbeam MP84-Nissan to a one-lap win in the LMP 675 class.

Ron Fellows of Canada and Johnny OConnell of Flowery Branch, Ga., won in the GTS class in a Chevrolet Corvette C5-R.

Kevin Buckler of Novato, Calif., and B.J. Zacharias of Cincinnati won for the first time in ALMS competition in a Porsche 911 GT3 RS in the GT class.
