the no. 29 land audi was impounded at technical inspection for three hours after the race. the team's refuelling equipment was deemed to comply with imsa regulations, but a discrepancy in the fuel data provided to the series and the team was discovered. starting at sebring, imsa established minimum refuelling times for all classes, overriding all refuelling restrictor starting sizes issued to teams. this was listed in the category-wide balance of performance tables to counter the controversy. jarvis expressed his surprise that the race had just four caution periods compared to 21 in 2017, "we always talk about daytona as [being about] staying out of trouble, staying on the lead lap – and if you do have a problem, don't worry, because you get laps back. but it just hasn't happened. i've never seen a daytona 24 with such big gaps [between the leading cars]. it's a shame really because in the prototype class there hasn't been much of a race on, it's just survival to the finish." duval said the low number of cautions lessened his team's chances of the overall victory, because the day before it began they anticipated more than 20, "we tried to put some pressure on the guys [ahead] but it was a bit too late, they were a bit too far ahead."
