Danske should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Qualifying results:
http://www.grandamerican.com/Events/...?SessionID=533

Alex Gurney nabbed pole for the GAINSCO/Blackhawk Riley today, possibly aided by Matteo Bobbi binning his Ford Doran and ending the session early. If the Doran gets fixed in time it'll be starting 4th. The Ganassi cars didn't qualify so well in 7th and 11th. Max Angelelli also qualified uncharacteristically in 3rd. Cochet has been quick in the Tuttle Riley so far, but only got 9th. The early end to the session may have contributed to these results.

Many of the teams seem to be planning on two driver changes to cope with the heat. As the qualifying driver must start the race and Andy Wallace was unavailable for qualifying it looks like he's going to have one long stint in the heat tomorrow; I can't imagine the team is planning on putting Duno in to close out the race unless Andy can't stand the heat any more at the end.

In other Grand-Am news, in today's Grand-Am Cup race Nic Jonsson led only one lap to win the race. Michael McDowell, who will drive the #19 Finlay Riley tomorrow was a bit unsteady after a big shunt. Let's hope everyone behaves better in the Rolex race than the drivers did today in the Cup race and the bodywork toss record at Barber remains uncontested.
