Following qualifying for the 2026 Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona, the technical inspectors imposed two severe penalties that significantly altered the starting grid.
The No. 31 Action Express Cadillac (Aitken/Bamber/Vesti/Zilisch), which had just celebrated pole position with Jack Aitken behind the wheel, was stripped of pole position and moved to the back of the GTP field. During the technical inspection, the stewards found that the rear skid block had been ground down too much.
