Paul Miller Racing’s Neil Verhagen will lead the pair of production based classes to the green flag in Sunday’s two-hour and 40-minute contest after securing his first-ever IMSA pole position aboard the No. 1 Paul Miller Racing BMW M4 GT3 EVO after reeling off a 1:15.046 lap in his GTD Pro machine.

The pair of Lexus RC F GT3s continued their strong form from this weekend’s practice sessions, with Jack Hawksworth jumping to the top of the GTD times in the first of three separate class qualifying sessions aboard the No. 12 Vasser Sullivan Racing machine he co-drives with Parker Thompson to secure the GTD pole and the Lexus GT3 machine’s 30th pole position.

Hawksworth laid down a 1:15.101 lap on his sixth of nine total laps to set the second overall fastest time amongst GT3 competitors, but will lead the GTD class to green behind the field of GTD Pro cars, per the regulations.

Third-fastest of the GTs, but second-quickest in GTD Pro was the No. 14 Vasser Sullivan entry of Aaron Telitz, who was just 0.263 seconds off of Verhagen’s class pole-sitting benchmark.
The class points-leading Winward Racing crew will roll off the grid second in GTD, with Russel Ward’s best flying lap 0.218 seconds off of Hawksworth’s pole time.

The two Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports Z06 GT3.Rs of Antonio Garcia and Tommy Milner were third and fourth-fastest, respectively, in GTD Pro, with the No. 48 Paul Miller BMW of Dan Harper rounding out the top five in class.

Robert Wickens set the third-quickest GTD time in his No. 36 DXDT Corvette ahead of Casper Stevenson’s No. 27 Heart of Racing Team Aston Martin Vantage GT3 Evo after the British team was stripped of its fastest qualifying time for causing a red flag in practice 2 earlier this afternoon.

Despite temporary yellows for Farano’s spin after being tagged by Fayer, the three separate qualifying sessions ran uninterrupted.
The Chevrolet Grand Prix takes the green flag at 2:05 p.m. EST with live network coverage available on USA, live-streaming coverage available on both Peacock and IMSA.tv, as well as free live-streaming coverage available internationally on IMSA’s YouTube channel.
