| The start at Las Vegas and the faster Prototypes have left the reminder of the field behind. As was often the case in 2000 the Vipers are first and second off the grid. No. 91 driven by Beretta grabs the lead but it is the privately entered No. 25 piloted by Tom Coronel that follows him. |

It was business as usual for Olivier Beretta and Karl Wendlinger. The duo captured the GTS pole and class win at Las Vegas. In fact, the pair won nine of the twelve rounds. Beretta finished first in the driver's championship and Wendlinger second. Their efforts earned Daimler Chrysler the manufacturer's title. |
| Sascha Maassen and Bob Wollek won the GT class in Dick Barbour's Porsche GT3R. They beat their teammates, Dirk Muller and Lucas Luhr, by a lap. Muller would take the 2000 GT driver's championship with Luhr finishing second and Maassen and Wollek would tie for third. |

The No. 25 Chrysler Viper GTS-R driven by Tom Coronel and Mike Hezemans surprised many of the ALMS regulars. The team qualified second in the GTS class but were the first retirement as the result of an engine failure. |
| Vic Rice and Zak Brown had a great run at Las Vegas in the No. 08 Porsche 911 Turbo. They were able to finish fourth in the GTS class on the same lap and immediately behind the factory entered Corvette driven by Justin Bell and Chris Kneifel. |

The No. 3 Chevrolet Corvette suffered a catastrophic tire failure on the front straight with Andy Pilgrim at the wheel. The rear bodywork exploded causing the car to spin and while going backwards the front window blew out. Needless to say the team retired on the spot and finished sixth in the GTS class and thirtieth overall. |
| Tom Milner entered three BMW M3s at Las Vegas. Peter Cunningham and Johannes van Overbeek drove No. 6 and finished tenth in the GT class. Fairing better was the No. 10, which finished fourth in the hands of Brian Cunningham and Nic Jonsson. |

The No. 92 Viper was driven by David Donohue and Tommy Archer. With the retirement of the Coronell/xx Viper and Pilgrim/Fellows Corvette they had an easy run to a second in the GTS class. |
