Am class pole honors for Race 1, meanwhile, went to James Clay in the No. 36 BimmerWorld BMW in 12th overall.

Q2 also saw Anderson take his No. 51 AutoTechnic Racing BMW to a chart-topping 2:15.380, which was just 0.090 seconds clear of second-placed Kenton Koch in the No. 97 Random Vandals Racing BMW.

Tyler McQuarrie qualified third overall and first in Pro-Am in his No. 82 BimmerWorld entry.

The session saw an accident for Andy Lee in the No. 5 Flying Lizard Motorsports Nissan Z NISMO GT4, who was able to limp the damaged Pro-Am class car back to the pits, which kept the session green.

Jaden Lander claimed the Am class pole in the No. 099 Rotek Racing Porsche.
