He will share his #86 #acura in tomorrow six-hour race with full-season drivers Mario Farnbacher and Matt McMurry.
In the #57 Heinricher #racing with MSR #acura, Misha Goikberg qualified sixth, less than four-tenths of a a second off his teammate, in the NSX GT3 Evo he shares with fellow full-season driver Alvaro Parente and endurance-race driver Trent Hindman.

Quotes
Helio Castroneves (#7 #acura Team Penske ARX-05) pole qualifier, his second pole this season and fifth career IMSA pole, third pole of 2020 for #acura Team Penske: "It's all on the line [in qualifying]. You've got great competitors, and you've got to push it to the limit. Every time we go out there [for qualifying], for me, it's great. And every time we achieve something great, doing something that you love, it's just fun. Tomorrow's six hours of #racing, but again, this is something I love to do."
