The #31 Action Express Cadillac lost the Daytona 24 Hours pole position due to a technical infringement confirmed by IMSA.
Jack Aitken earned the pole with a lap time of 1:33.939, but post-session inspection revealed the rear friction block exceeded wear limits, resulting in disqualification.
As a consequence, the car moves to 11th in the GTP field, elevating the #93 Acura Meyer Shank Racing driven by Renger van der Zande to pole position.
In GTD Pro, the #1 Paul Miller Racing BMW slips from second to the rear due to front wheel camber violation, shuffling Neil Verhagen back.
This change pushes the #93 Acura to pole, the #40 Wayne Taylor Racing Cadillac to second, and the #7 Porsche to third on the GTP grid.
In GTD Pro, Alexander Sims and Dean MacDonald now lead the front row, while Maro Engel gains a position for third start in his Mercedes-AMG GT3.
Awaiting comments from both affected teams regarding the technical infringements, updates will be provided promptly.
