Scott Pruett and Dirk Werner set times faster than last year's qualifying records in Thursday's practice sessions and hope their co-drivers can carry over momentum in Friday's qualifications for the Montreal 200 at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
Pruett ran a lap of 1:34.250 (103.473 mph), surpassing co-driver Memo Rojas' best lap of 1:34.380 (103.331 mph) to lead the Daytona Prototype field in the No. 01 TELMEX Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates Lexus Riley. Pruett and Rojas have combined to win six of nine Daytona Prototype races this year, and have built up a 60-point lead in the standings.
Second overall was Jon Fogarty, running a lap of 1:34.721 (102.959 mph), followed by David Donohue at 1:34.802 (102.871 mph), defending race winner Max Angelelli at 1:35.068 (102.583 mph) and Marc Goossens at 1:35.073 (102.578 mph).
Fogarty was involved in the most serious incident of the day. During the second session, Fogarty and Law were attempting to pass another Daytona Prototype when the trio came upon a GT car that had spun and blocked the track. Fogarty hit Law and was then collected by the No. 61 AIM Autosport Ford Riley of Brian Frisselle. Fogarty was unable to continue, and did not participate in any of the remaining sessions.
Due to the incident, the No. 99 team also changed an engine following repairs to the bodywork.
Dirk Werner bettered Kelly Collins' existing GT track qualifying record with an unofficial lap time of 1:42.497 (95.148 mph) in the No. 87 Farnbacher Loles Racing Porsche GT3 he shares with Bryce Miller.
