Angelelli and co-driver Wayne Taylor will be looking for their second win of the season and their first win since Round 3 at Phoenix in tomorrow’s race.<BR> <BR> “I’m fairly happy,” Angelelli said. “It’s my first time here and I really like the track. It’s an amazing place and I’m really looking forward to tomorrow. Tomorrow, we plan to push from the first to the last lap.”<BR> <BR> Starting a season-best second will be Cort Wagner in the No. 81 Rx.com/G&W Motorsports BMW Doran following a lap of 115.667 mph (1:45.821). Wagner’s performance eclipsed the team’s previous best starting position of sixth at Phoenix, putting Wagner and co-drivers Brent Martini and Kelly Collins in an excellent position as they go for their first Daytona Prototype win of the season.<BR> <BR> “I’m really, really happy for the whole Rx.com G&W Motorsports crew,” Wagner said. “They deserve this after all the trouble we had a Mont-Tremblant. It was a good qualifying session. The conditions were great. I got a little held up on my fast lap, but what can you do? It still got me on the front row. The car feels really good. The guys did a great job setting it up.”<BR> <BR> While his teammates saw their record-tying consecutive pole streak end at four, No. 02 CompUSA Chip Ganassi Racing Lexus Riley driver Luis Diaz gave the car its best starting position since it rolled off from the outside of the front row at Phoenix in April. Diaz turned a best lap today of 115.654 mph (1:45.833), and he and co-driver Jimmy Morales enter tomorrow’s Sahlen’s Six Hours of The Glen looking to top their previous best result of fourth at Phoenix. <BR> <BR> “It was a little bit hard, because I got a lot of traffic on my good lap, but I think my team did a great job,” Diaz explained. “I think we’ve got a very good race car, and that’s the most important thing for us.”<BR> <BR> Darren Law put the defending race champion No. 58 Red Bull Brumos Racing Porsche Fabcar fourth on the grid following a best lap of 114.721 mph (1:46.694), and Oswaldo Negri Jr. filled out the top five in the No. 6 Michael Shank Racing Lexus Doran at 114.639 mph (1:46.770).<BR> </FONT></TD></TR> </TABLE><BR> </CENTER> <BR><CENTER><font size="1" color="#808080" face="Tahoma">Copyright ©2000-©2023 TotalMotorSport</font></CENTER> </td> </tr> </table> </body>
