For the 2012 season, the team, with drivers Dyson and Smith, would return to continue their rivalry with Muscle Milk Pickett Racing. The team would also field the #20 car with several different drivers for eight of the ten-race season. Throughout the season the team's Mazda powered Lolas lacked the outright speed of Muscle Milk's new HPD ARX-03. Mechanical troubles for the HPD, however, would give the Dyson Racing team overall victories at the Grand Prix of Baltimore and the Road America race where they won by 0.083 seconds, setting the record for the closest overall finish in ALMS history. By the end of the season, they would finish 2nd in the LMP1 Teams' Championships with Chris Dyson and Guy Smith 2nd in the Drivers' Championship. Dyson celebrated his 100th ALMS start at Baltimore and the team claimed their 200th podium at Mid-Ohio.
