The #60 Acura Meyer Shank Racing prototype, driven by Tom Blomqvist, set the fastest lap in qualifying, but it was later found to be in violation of IMSA’s rules. This led to the disqualification of the entry’s times in qualifying and the promotion of the #31 Cadillac Whelen prototype to pole position. Issues with bodywork panels outside allowable tolerances were uncovered during the series’ inspection process, though specific details were not immediately disclosed. As a result, Jack Aitken’s time of 1:14.610 will serve as the new pole time, securing Cadillac’s first pole position of the season. With Cadillac prototypes now filling the top three grid positions, the manufacturer has a strong opportunity to secure its first win of the season at the upcoming Battle on the Bricks. The #60 Acura will now start from the 12th position on the GTP starting grid for the event, which is scheduled for Sunday at 11:40 Eastern Time amidst a forecast of scattered rain showers throughout the day.
