Ricky and Jordan Taylor led their respective classes Friday in qualifying for the 30th running of the Sahlen's Six Hours of The Glen, becoming the first brothers to win pole positions for both Daytona Prototype and GT classes at the same Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series event.
Ricky Taylor won his second consecutive Daytona Prototype pole, running a lap of 1:40.691 in the No. 10 SunTrust Chevrolet/Dallara, while younger brother Jordan took his third career pole and first of the season with a lap of 1:51.939 in the No. 88 Autohaus Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro.
The SunTrust team is seeking its second-consecutive victory, after winning Monday's Memorial Day Classic at Lime Rock Park in dominating fashion.
Antonio Garcia was second in DP qualifying with a lap of 1:40.909, giving the No. 90 Spirit of Daytona Chevrolet/Coyote co-driven by Paul Edwards its fourth straight front row start.
Scott Pruett qualified third in the No. 01 TELMEX BMW/Riley with a lap of 1:41.011. He and Memo Rojas are seeking their fourth consecutive victory in the event.
Alex Gurney - who joined co-driver Jon Fogarty in winning the 2007 Sahlen's Six Hours - qualified fourth with a lap of 1:41.787 in the No. 99 GAINSCO Auto Insurance Chevrolet/Riley.
Jordan Taylor's pole - the first for Autohaus Motorsports - continues a torrid streak for the team which has moved he and co-driver Bill Lester to second in the production-based GT championship.
Camaros swept the top three positions in GT qualifying.
