Front Row Sweep for Porsche

Matt Campbell was fast yesterday and even faster today. He led a Penske Porsche sweep of the front row for tomorrow’s TireRack,com Battle on the Bricks. (The event name needs some work, by the way)

Campbell was the first car to turn a lap in the 1:13s and he had a best lap of 1:13.672. Teammate Mathieu Jaminet, Acura driver Tom Blomqvist, and Cadillac driver Sebastien Bourdais also ran laps in the 1:13 bracket.

The 10 GTP cars were separated by 0.96 seconds.

Ben Keating won the pole in LMP2. The LMP 2 /LMP3 session was interrupted with seven minutes left when Bijo Garg ran head on into the tire barrier in turn six. Tine ran out on the session, but race officials allowed one more timed lap. Keating improved his time to seal the pole. Garg was leading LMP3 at the time of his crash. His time stood up.
