"[The Corvette DP] is an absolute joy to drive," Westbrook said. "The aero on the car is absolutely unbelievable. It's still a very new car and it's going to get better.

Paul Edwards (Autohaus Motorsports Chevrolet) took the GT pole, also in dramatic fashion.

The driver of the No. 88 Camaro GT.R crashed his car in morning practice, and narrowly made it on time for qualifying, thanks to his crew's effort.
