Recap:
Both Acura Team Penske ARX-05 Prototypes will start on the second row for Sunday’s Sahlen’s Six Hours at the Glen at Watkins Glen International (WGI). The Saturday time trials proved to be the continuation of a strong weekend thus far for the Acura Prototypes as they clocked in within the top five in each session but one thus far. Two-time IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship winner at WGI, Ricky Taylor, placed the No. 7 Acura ARX-05 DPi in the third position with a lap of 1:32.638 seconds. Teammate Dane Cameron, himself a former WGI winner, will start alongside in the fourth position after a lap of 1:32.782 seconds. Both cars bested the pole qualifying time from a year ago and both are confident in how their Acura Prototypes will race on Sunday.
