The last pole position of the season in IMSA went to Felipe Nasr at the wheel of the No. 31 Whelen Engineering Racing Cadillac DPi. The Brazilian set a time of 1:08.678. An excellent operation for him and his compatriot Pipo Derani (accompanied by Mike conway in Georgia), because championship leaders Filipe Albuquerque and Ricky Taylor will only start in seventh position on the starting grid with the No. 10 Konica Minolta Acura DPi. In LM P2, Ben Keating set the best time in 1:12.229 with the PR07 Mathiasen Motorsports Oreca 1 ahead of the #11 from WIN Autosport (1:12.583) and the #18 from Era Motorsport (1:13.070).
