Key Points:
- Jack Aitken secured pole position for the Sahlen’s Six Hours of The Glen in the No. 31 Action Express Racing Cadillac, setting a new GTP track qualifying record with a lap time of 1:31.284.
- Jeremy Clarke earned pole in the LMP2 class with a 1:35.124 lap in the No. 43 Inter Europol Competition Oreca 07 Gibson, while Jack Hawksworth took GTD Pro pole in the No. 14 Vasser Sullivan Lexus, also setting a new class track record.
- The GTD qualifying session was abandoned after Russell Ward's heavy crash in the No. 57 Winward Racing Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo, leading to the grid being set by team points rather than qualifying times.
- The No. 27 Heart of Racing Aston Martin will start from GTD class pole, with the race scheduled to begin Sunday at 12:10 p.m. EST, broadcast live on Peacock and IMSA’s YouTube channel.
