Loek Hartog claimed victory in Saturday’s Porsche Carrera Cup North America, scoring a sweep of the weekend at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

The Dutchman in the No. 24 Kellymoss Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car took his seventh win of the season, edging out the No. 98 PT Autosport-backed JDX Racing Porsche of Alex Sedgwick by 3.816 seconds.

Hartog, who started from pole, led every lap of the 40-minute contest at The Brickyard.

Dan Clarke and Jimmy Llibre had contact while battling for third in the final half of the race that saw Llibre drop back.

No further action was made by race control of the incident.

Clarke held on to complete the Pro class podium in the No. 64 Era Motorsport Porsche, with Llibre’s ACI Motorsports entry and Ryan Yardley in the No. 78 Topp Racing Performance Porsche completing the top-five.

Elias De La Torre and Michael McCann finished sixth and seventh, meanwhile.

Alan Metni swept the Indianapolis weekend with another class win in Pro-Am in his No. 99 Kellymoss Porsche.

It came amid a tight battle for the final podium positions, which went the way of Jordan Wallace and Moisey Uretzky.

After missing out on the class win due to a track limits infraction on Friday, Richard Edge found redemption in Race 2 with Masters victory.

Edge held off ACI Motorsports teammate Matt Halcome for top category honors.

RESULTS: Race 2
