Jon Fogarty and John Edwards each obtained a Grand-Am pole for the second week in a row.

Fogarty, co-driving with Alex Gurney the No. 99 GAINSCO Auto Insurance Corvette DP, recorded his 21st pole.

"We definitely made some pretty aggressive moves for qualifying," said Fogarty, the all-time leader in Rolex Series poles. "Those were pretty bold changes and I’m happy we made them for qualifying."

Canadian Michael Valiante, who shares the No. 90 Spirit of Daytona Corvette DP with Richard Westbrook, banged in the second fastest lap. Ricky Taylor and Max Angelelli, in the No. 10 SunTrust Corvette DP, will start third.

Which means Chevrolet took away the first three starting spots on the grid – actually, the top five is all Corvette's.

In GT, John Edwards, behind the wheel of the No. 57 Stevenson Auto Group Chevrolet Camaro GT.R shared with Robin Liddell, took pole. Andrew Davis (No. 59 Brumos Companies Porsche GT3) clocked the second fastest lap, and Paul Edwards (Autohaus Motorsports) the third best time.
