AIM Qualifies Seventh At Mid-Ohio 2007.06.22: AIM Autosport will start the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series Daytona Prototype race at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course from seventh on the 19-car grid. Brian Frisselle of Lynchburg, Va., qualified the team's No. 61 Lexus-powered Riley Mk XI in one minute 19.714 seconds on the 2.258-mile Lexington, Ohio, road course. He will drive the first race stint on Saturday evening, followed by Mark Wilkins of Toronto. "It was intense. The track is very challenging, but I thought we got the most of what we had today. There wasn't much more left on the table – I was giving it 100 per cent," Frisselle said. "Every lap, there's minor mistakes and minor things that you think, 'I could do that better,' so you just come back the next lap and get it all right."
