AIM Qualifies Eighth At Birmingham

2007.07.21: AIM Autosport will start the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series Daytona Prototype race at Barber Motorsports Park from eighth on the 17-car grid. Mark Wilkins of Toronto qualified the No. 61 Exchange Traded Gold / Barrick Gold car in one minute 23.484 seconds on the 2.3-mile road course in Birmingham, Ala. He'll drive first in Sunday's race, followed by Burt Frisselle of Lynchburg, Va.

"It was a good qualifying session," Wilkins said. "We're not quite as high as I was hoping we'd be – my goal was top six. But eighth is a good spot because we struggled and then we made a big gain in this morning's session. We tried to work with it a little [for qualifying] and it didn't give us what we were hoping, so we're going to just keep working on it. We always have a good race car and that's the important part."
