The Can-Am cars were up next. After practice, nine drivers entered the event. Robert Rodgers won concourse with a remarkable Go-Daddy Can-Am car. The paint and detail on that car were unreal. It was perhaps, one of the sharpest Can-Am cars I have seen entered. Gary Culy's "Skunkinator" Can-Am was remarkable as well. Qualifying was up next.
