Tom Blomqvist scored pole position in the #60 Acura ARX-06, his second-consecutive pole position of the season and the third in a row for Acura. The pole position is also Blomqvist's second-straight pole at Petit Le Mans, after also putting his #60 Acura ARX-06 first on the grid for the 2025 edition of the race.

Blomqvist and co-driver Colin Braun are looking for their first win of the season in the final race of the year. Six-time NTT INDYCAR SERIES champion Scott Dixon joins them for Saturday's race.

Nick Yelloly completed the front-row lockout for Acura, qualifying the #93 Acura MSR machine P2. This is Acura's second sweep of the front row this season, following a 1-2 qualifying result at Road America earlier this year.

Yelloly and co-drivers Renger van der Zande and five-time IndyCar champ Alex Palou are sporting a special 'Thank You' livery this weekend, honoring the teams, drivers and successes of Acura in IMSA.

The pole position is the 45th pole for Acura in IMSA since the brand returned to the series in 2017 and the final before the program pauses at the end of the season.
