“The AIM team gave me a car so easy to drive that it took hardly any effort to set the pole time,” said Edwards. “I did my pole time on my third lap on a set of brand new tires and immediately pitted to see if anyone could beat it, which they didn’t. So I’ll be starting the race with tires that have only three laps on them, which is a huge advantage. The improved lap times were in part due to the car and in part due to the track being faster with lots of ALMS rubber laid down. It may be a little slower in the heat of the afternoon, but we’re feeling confident of our chances in the race.”
Championship points leader Joel Miller in the #20 MAZDASPEED JDC Motorsports entry was second fastest in the session with a time of 1:44.341 but brought the session to a early end running off course in the Attitudes section of the track. Miller's JDC Motorsports teammate Ernesto Otero rounded out the top three with a time of 1:44.799.
The race gets underway at Miller Motorsports Park in Utah at 4:15pm (local time)
