Vasser Sullivan Racing secured the front row in GTD with its two Lexus RC F GT3s, including polesitter Parker Thompson. Thompson believes starting from the front row is advantageous at Long Beach due to the unique racing start with prototypes. He aims to ensure a solid race for both cars and hopes for a 1-2 finish. GTP teams have tire strategy challenges with limited sets of soft compound Michelins, impacting race dynamics.

Yelloly highlights the importance of navigating traffic and strategic pit stops for success in the upcoming race at Long Beach.
