Riley Dickinson made a last-lap improvement to set the pace in the one-and-only practice session for Porsche Carrera Cup North America ahead of qualifying for this weekend’s title-decider at Circuit of The America.

The Kellymoss driver reeled off a 2:08.225 in his No. 91 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car to edge out championship rival Ryan Yardley by 0.176 seconds.

Dickinson leads Yardley by just two points going into the final two races of the single-make series season.

Yardley’s Topp Racing teammate Tyler Maxson was third quickest, with Jimmy Llibre of ACI Motorsports and the championship’s newest race winner, Aaron Jeansonne, completed the top-five.

Pro-Am was led by the No. 54 GMG Racing Porsche of Patrick Mulcahy, ahead of JP Martinez and Alan Metni.

Scott Blind, who already clinched the Masters class, was quickest in his Ruckus Racing entry.

Qualifying is set for Saturday at 9:45 a.m. CST ahead of Race 1 at 2:40 p.m. that afternoon with live coverage on Peacock, IMSA’s YouTube channel and on PorscheCarreraCup.us.
