The No. 91 Regulator Racing Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo of Philip Ellis and Jeff Burton have lost all times from qualifying, including Ellis’ pole-winning lap for Race 1, due to a ride height infraction found in post-qualifying technical inspection.

It has promoted the No. 63 DXDT Racing Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R of Alec Udell to pole in Race 1, ahead of the No. 28 ST Racing BMW M4 GT3 of Bill Auberlen, who will line up alongside Udell on the front row.

Pro-Am class pole has now gone to the No. 08 DXDT Corvette of Bryson Morris, in the 19-year-old’s series debut.

Ellis, meanwhile. will now start 15th in the field for this afternoon’s 90-minute race.

Q2 times from Burton’s run have also been deleted, although the Bronze-rated driver had already qualified 15th overall in the session, after battling with a reported broken brake disc.

The first 90-minute race of the weekend start at 3:10 p.m. CDT with live coverage on SRO’s GT World YouTube channel and on Twitch.
