Lindh’s No. 81 DragonSpeed Ferrari 296 GT3 made contact with the Turn 3 wall and spun into the Turn 4 concrete barriers with less than six minutes left on the clock putting out red flag for last 6 minutes so little time to qualify

IMSA extended the session by less than 40 seconds in order to guarantee the minimum green flag time, but it did not allow time for any additional lap time improvements.

The No. 14 Vasser Sullivan Lexus RC F GT3 of Jack Hawksworth will start third in class, ahead of the pair of Paul Miller Racing BMW M4 GT3 Evos, which completed the top-five.

Tommy Milner was the best of the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.Rs in sixth, while the championship-leading No. 77 AO Racing Porsche 911 GT3 R will line up eighth in class.

Milner said: “I think the smart thing for me is to not say what my plan is from now on.
But certainly we were compromised as were many other cars by a car that had clear track that did not want to continue to qualify the car, just waiting for something to happen.

I don’t know what exactly. Yeah, a lot of us paid the penalty for it. It’s not the first time that car has done stuff like that.

So, yeah, just going forward we’ve done something different in the past in qualifying, and it’s paid off massively. And so I think from now on, we’ll just do something different from what most other people do and let us determine our own destiny and not leave it to the hands of incompetent drivers.”

The Chevrolet Sports Car Classic gets underway Saturday at 3:30 p.m. EST with live coverage on Peacock and IMSA Radio.
