12 Hours of Sebring lineup
The Penske Racing Porsches were the top two LMP2 cars in qualifying for the 12 Hours of Sebring, the opening race of the American Le Mans Series.
A Mazda prototype driven by Ben Devlin crashed into the Turn One barrier and halted qualifying Thursday. The lineup was determined by practice times recorded during the previous three days.
The Lowe's Fernandez Racing car, driven by Adrian Fernandez and Luis Diaz, will start third, the highest qualifying Acura entry in the race. The Acura entry from Andretti Green Racing, driven by Valencia's Bryan Herta, Marco Andretti and Christian Fittipaldi, will start fifth.
"This is incredibly disappointing because we’ve shown how quick the XM Satellite Radio Acura has been all week," Andretti said. "I really think we would have gotten the LMP2 pole position, so I feel bad for the crew because that would have been a real boost for everyone. That being said, we have to understand that this is a 12-hour race and no one is going to win because they sat on the pole. We know that the XM Acura is very durable and we expect to make our way to the front very quickly.”
The Patron Highcroft Racing Acura will start seventh in the LMP2 portion of the race.
