Antonio Garcia claimed a first pole position in Grand-Am Rolex on Friday. It was also a first DP pole for his team, Spirit of Daytona Racing, and the Coyote chassis they race with.
"This is my fourth year with the Coyote chassis and we've been developing the car a lot," said Garcia, whose lone Rolex Series victory was in the 2009 Rolex 24 At Daytona for Brumos Racing.
"We've been very close to having the pole position twice. Now I'm very happy for Coyote and Spirit of Daytona for this first pole."
Jon Fogarty took the second spot on the grid for the No. 99 Gainsco car co-driven by Alex Gurney.
"Our goal in the race is to have a consistent car, not necessarily maximizing our speed," said Fogarty.
Garcia was not the only one to grab a first pole in career as well as a first one for his team on Friday since the same applies to GT pole sitter Dane Cameron who races for Hollywood actor Patrick Dempsey's team.
"Last year Dempsey Racing won its first race, so I'm proud to have giving the team its first pole," said Cameron, who co-drives with James Gue.
"If everything goes well tomorrow, maybe we can get win number two in the column for Dempsey Racing."
Robin Liddell will start on the outside of first row in the No. 57 Camaro he co-drives with Jan Magnussen.
The race is scheduled for this Saturday, at 4 p.m.
