Hand qualified the No. 01 Ford EcoBoost Riley on the pole, earning his first pole with CGRFS and Ford’s first pole of the 2015 season. Hand gained a five-second lead on the field shortly into the 2 hour, 40 minute race. The first full- course caution flew for a car in the wall in Turn 11 of the 4-mile road course. Hand brought the No. 01 in under yellow for tires and fuel, and the crew took a few extra seconds to determine why the car was beginning to slow on course. Hand restarted at the back of the field but raced cleanly and steadily in an effort to catch the rest of the Prototype field. Hand passed 15 cars and was running a second faster than the leaders by time he caught up with the rest of the Prototype field. Hand brought the No. 01 in for a driver change and Pruett got behind the wheel with 40 laps to go. Shortly after taking control of the No. 01, Pruett turned the quickest lap of the race with a time of 1:57.464.

(May 31, 2015) – Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates (CGRFS) with drivers Scott Pruett and Joey Hand finished fourth in the Prototype class in the Chevrolet Sports Car Classis Presented by Metro Detroit Chevy Dealers in Detroit, Michigan. Pruett started the No. 01 Ford EcoBoost Riley in the fourth position for the opening stint of the 100-minute sprint race. As the seven-car Prototype class navigated through the 2.35-mile street course, Pruett kept the No. 01 Prototype clean as the bumps in the new pavement proved to be a challenge. The first caution of the race fell with an hour remaining and allowed Pruett to make the team’s only pit stop and give the wheel over to Joey Hand. Hand restarted the race in the fifth position as the rain began to fall. With 10 laps to go, a third full-course caution came out allowing Hand to make the pass for fourth on the final restart. On the final lap, the No. 5 had a mishap causing the Corvette DP to spin allowing Hand to close the gap. A late-race battle between third, fourth and fifth led to an exciting finish, but Hand wasn’t able to make the pass for third resulting in a fourth-place Prototype class finish.
