In the second session, Hanson's No. 85 JDC Porsche lapped quickest at 1:48.149, ahead of the No. 01 Cadillac of Bourdais and Derani's No. 31 WCR car.

Qualifying

Pipo Derani (pictured in 2019) helped take the No. 31 Cadillac's second pole position of 2024.

Friday's afternoon qualifying session was broken into three sessions, with one session for the GTP, LMP2, and the GTD classes, which lasted 15 minutes each. ^[7] The rules dictated that all teams nominated a driver to qualify their cars, with the Pro-Am LMP2 class requiring a Bronze rated driver to qualify the car. The competitors' fastest lap times determined the starting order. IMSA then arranged the grid to put GTPs ahead of the LMP2, GTD Pro, and GTD cars. ^[18]

Pipo Derani in the No. 31 WCR Cadillac took his second consecutive pole position of the season with a lap of 1 minute 48.152 seconds. He was joined on the front row by Bourdais whose best lap in the No. 01 CGR Cadillac was 0.147 seconds slower. ^[19] Delétraz qualified the No. 40 WTR Acura third, and Philipp Eng in the No. 24 BMW took fourth. The fastest Porsche was Nasr's No. 7 Penske Porsche 963 in fifth. ^[20] The session saw one incident when Mathieu Jaminet in the No. 6 Penske Porsche entry crashed at turn one. Jaminet had his best two laps from the session deleted for causing a red flag, effectively leaving him with no time set. ^[21] The No. 10 WTR entry lost all its lap times due to the car being worked on during the red flag. ^[20]

Hyett took the LMP2 pole for AO Racing with a 1:52.142 lap. The two United Autosport Orecas were second and third (the No. 22 car driven by Goldburg in front of the No. 2 vehicle of Keating). ^[21] Boulle's No. 52 PR1 car was fourth and Robinson's No. 74 Riley vehicle qualified fifth. ^[19] The session ended prematurely when Andersen's MDK by High Class Racing car stopped on track. Andersen had his best two laps from the session deleted for causing a red flag. ^[19]

In the GT session, Jack hawksworth set a new qualifying track record for GTD Pro to take pole position for Vasser Sullivan, with a lap of 1:58.714. Hawksworth was 0.550 seconds faster than Farnbacher's second placed No. 23 Aston Martin. Prialux qualified the No. 77 Porsche third. ^[19] Sims and his teammate Milner would start at the back of the GTD Pro field after their cars failed post post-qualifying technical inspection where it was discovered that their Corvettes diffusers had been modified. ^[22] As a result, Perera would start from fourth. Philip Ellis set the fastest time in the GTD class in the No. 57 Winward car. However, the team were sent to the back of the GTD grid after the car failed post-qualifying technical inspection where it was discovered that the Mecredes-AMG had installed non permitted sensors. As a result, Antonio Fuoco's No. 47 Cetilar Ferrari was promoted to pole position. ^[23] Thompson's No. 12 Lexus started in second position followed by Grenier's No. 32 Korthoff car in third. ^[19] The No. 83 Iron Danes Lamborghini failed to record a time after Sarah Bovy suffered a puncture on her out lap. ^[19]
