O'Connell Wins Battle for Mosport GT1 Pole
Johnny O'Connell claimed his second GT1 pole of the season and the fourth of his American Le Mans Series career today in a pitched battle with his Corvette Racing teammate Olivier Beretta in qualifying for Sunday's Grand Prix of Mosport. O'Connell wheeled the No. 3 Compuware Corvette C6.R to a fast time of 1:13.878 (119.825 mph) on his fifth and final qualifying lap, snatching the pole from Beretta's No. 4 Compuware Corvette C6.R by .069 seconds. Beretta turned in a 1:13.947 time (119.713 mph) on his fourth flying lap, but encountered traffic on his final circuit on the 2.459-mile Mosport International Raceway road course and could not improve his time.
