Acura and Team Penske successfully defended their titles in 2020, winning all of the DPi class championships.{{Cite web|date=2020-11-15|title=Fitting Finale for 2020 in DPi Class|url=https://www.imsa.com/news/2020/11/15/fitting-finale-for-2020-in-dpi-class/|access-date=2021-01-03|website=IMSA|language=en-US}}
