Heavy rains have forced the cancellation of qualifying, ahead of the Grand Prix of Atltanta.

The grid was therefore set by championship standings, which means Memo Rojas and teammate Scott Pruett (BMW/Riley Ganassi) inherited the first spot on the starting grid.

The rain ended Jon Fogarty's run of two consecutive poles. Luckily for Fogarty, he and teammate Alex Gurney (GAINSCO Corvette DP) are second in the championship, so they can at least start second.

John Potter and Andy Lally (Magnus Porsche 911) will start first in GT, alongside Jeff Westphal and Alessandro Balzan (Scuderia Corse Ferrari 458).

Jim Norman and David Donohue (BGB Porsche Cayman) lead the standings in GX.
