Woodcliff Lake, N.J. – April 13, 2012… With uncharacteristic heavy rain causing the series to abandon this afternoon’s GT class qualifying session and base the starting positions on championship points, Joey Hand and Dirk Müller will start their No. 56 BMW M3 GT from the pole in tomorrow’s American Le Mans Series at Long Beach race.
The defending race winners and 2011 ALMS driver co-champions lead the GT points following their win at the season opening 12 Hours of Sebring in March.
Teammates Bill Auberlen and Jörg Müller will start the No. 55 M3 GT from the fourth position, also based on their finishing position at the 12 Hours of Sebring.
This morning’s two-hour practice session was also affected by rain. The No. 56 M3 completed only 23 laps of the 1.968-mile, 11-turn temporary street circuit, almost all of it in the final 30 minutes after the crew diagnosed and repaired a misfire. The No. 55 M3 GT elected to sit out most of the session, completing only eight laps.
The American Le Mans Series at Long Beach race will take the green flag at 4:30 p.m. PT on Saturday, April 14th. The race will streamed live on ESPN3.com beginning at 7:15 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on ESPN2 television beginning at 7:30 p.m. ET. Live timing and scoring will be hosted on americanlemans.com.
