Chip Ganassi Racing’s Cadillacs were the first cars to show their hand in GTP, with Sebastien Bourdais #01 and Alex Lynn (2) ducking into the 1m35s with their third laps, but then Tom Blomqvist sent the Meyer Shank Racing Acura ARX-06 to the top with a 1m35.363s lap of the 3.56-mile Daytona International Speedway.
Then the #6 Porsche 963, which had sat idle for most of Friday’s second session, sprung into second with Nick Tandy at the wheel before pitting. Then moving up to split the Ganassi cars was Pipo Derani in the Action Express Racing Cadillac.
