In the GTD class, the No. 1 Paul Miller Racing BMW M4 GT3, of Bryan Sellers and Madison Snow, will start third, following Snow’s 1:45.801 -minute qualifying lap.

Connor De Phillippi (BMW M Team RLL, No. 25 MOTUL BMW M4 GT3 (P4): “Qualifying did not meet our expectations. The track had less grip than earlier today, and I believe we could have been better on the balance of the car. We didn’t quite have the rotation we needed. We’ll take a hard look at the data and have the car ready for tomorrow.”
