Because of a technical infraction, the No. 93 Acura Meyer Shank Racing Acura ARX-06 inherited the pole position for the 64th Rolex 24 at Daytona.
Renger van der Zande unofficially qualified second at 1 minute, 34.041 seconds but was moved to the top of the starting grid after the No. 31 Whelen Action Express Racing Cadillac V-Series.R was sent to the rear because its rear skid block failed tolerances in inspection.
No. 31 driver Jack Aitken had qualified 0.102 seconds ahead of van der Zande, who co-drives with Nick Yelloly, Kaku Ohta and four-time IndyCar champion Alex Palou.
