If GTLM continues as it is right now, we'll see a very rare happening this year

The #3 Corvette is currently the points leader with only a couple races left in the season for IMSA GTLM class.
Why is this important? Not like Corvette's never won the championship before....however, what makes this, not unique, but VERY rare, is that the #3 Corvette HAS YET TO WIN A RACE (the sister car which is several places behind actually has won)!! They've had tons of podiums, but haven't won a single race. Their 2nd place this weekend now moves them ahead of the #67 Ford GT for the lead though (as the #67 failed to finish). It's only a 4 point lead, which is VERY easily overcome, but still. If it ends up going to the #3 team, it will be a very rare heppenstance that the championship winning team may not have even a single win (overall or class) for the entire season.
