The Cadillac sports car owned by NASCAR chairman Jim France won the pole for the Rolex 24 at Daytona but was later disqualified in inspection, moving one of the favorites to the back of the class for the start of the most prestigious endurance race in the United States. Action Express Racing won the pole on speed with driver Jack Aitken but forfeited its position when the No. 31 failed inspection because its rear skid block friction surface was beyond the allowed tolerance. The disqualification dropped the Cadillac to the back of the top GTP class, while one of two Acuras owned by Meyer Shank Racing was bumped to the front for a race that starts Saturday and goes twice-round-the-clock at Daytona International Speedway.
