Max Angelelli drove his SunTrust Pontiac Daytona Prototype to pole position for tomorrow's round six of the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series presented by Crown Royal Cask No. 16 race to be run at Watkins Glen International Raceway.

The team is running their old Riley car as the entire contents of their race trailer, including their new Dallara race car, went up in flames on the way home from the last race at Laguna Seca just three weeks ago. Angelelli put in a time of 1:42.888 and shares the seat of the No. 10 with Michael Valiante.
Eric van de Poele in the No. 75 Krohn Racing Lola will start from the fourth row in eighth. Van de Poele posted a time of 1:45.771 for the cars best starting position on the season. Tracy Krohn shares the driving duties in the No. 75.
In the companion Krohn Racing No. 76 Ricardo Zonta was on his second qualifying lap when in turn six he lost the back of the car and it nosed into the wall, causing substantial damage to the Lola. Zonta will have to start from the back of the field for tomorrow's race.
In GT, Paul Edwards drove his Banner Racing Pontiac GXP.R to a front row starting position. His time of 1:52.850 will have him starting second. Together with teammate Kelly Collins the duo has won three races this season and lead the GT drivers points chase.
In the No. 57 Stevenson Pontiac GXP.R Andrew Davis posted a time of 1:53.561 good for a fourth row starting position. Davis and Robin Liddell have won two races on the season at Mexico City and Virginia International Raceway.
