- Filipe #albuquerque puts #waynetaylor Racing's #acuraarx05 on the pole for Sunday's IMSA Fast Lane SportsCar Weekend at Road America
- Tom Blomqvist to start third in the Meyer Shank #racing #acura ARX-05
- Rick Ware #racing NSX GT-3 Evo22 looks to move forward in potentially rain-affected race
It's a P1 start for #filipealbuquerque, #rickytaylor and the #waynetaylor #racing team as #albuquerque qualified their #10 #acuraarx05 on the pole today for Sunday's #imsaweathertechsportscarchampionshipfastlanesportscarweekend at Road America.
The pole position comes at a vital time in the championship for #waynetaylor #racing, as the team battles for the championship with fellow #acura team Meyer Shank #racing. For their efforts, the #60 Meyer Shank #racing #acuraarx05 will start third with co-drivers Tom Blomqvist and Oliver Jarvis.
In the production-based GTD class, Aidan Read set the ninth fastest qualifying time aboard the #51 #acura NSX GT3 Evo22, however Read and co-driver Ryan Eversley will start at the rear of the field due to a pit lane infraction in qualifying. The pair will be looking to capitalize on the forecast rainy conditions for tomorrow and hope to make their way through the field.

Quote
Filipe Albuquerque (#10 #waynetaylor #racing ARX-05) pole qualifier: "It all came together with pole position and the championship points [earned for pole]. The satisfaction is for me, from the drivers point of view, and for the team as well. They gave me the perfect car and I just felt great right away, from Turn 1, the car was really, really good, with a lot of grip. Tomorrow's race is going to be really rainy, so starting from P1 in a potentially chaotic race, that should help keep us out of trouble. It's ideal! The pressure is on now, though, we cannot finish behind the #60 and those guys are so fast. We are going to keep fighting for the championship and we'll see how it goes tomorrow!"
Fast Fact
- This is the fifth IMSA pole of the season for #acura. At the season-opening Rolex 24 at Daytona, #albuquerque and Taylor combined to win the qualifying race that set the starting field; and Taylor led another #acura front-row qualifying sweep at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. Blomqvist scored consecutive poles at Watkins Glen International Raceway and Canadian Tire Motorsport Park; followed by Albuquerque's pole today at Road America.
