There were two practice sessions scheduled preceding the start of the race on Sunday, one on Friday and one on Saturday. The first session lasted 90 minutes on Friday afternoon while the second session lasted 90 minutes on Saturday morning.^[8]

Saturday's afternoon qualifying session was broken into three sessions, with one session for the GTP, LMP2, GTD Pro and GTD classes, which lasted 15 minutes each.^[8] The rules dictated that all teams nominated a driver to qualify their cars, with the Pro-Am LMP2 class requiring a Bronze rated driver to qualify the car. The competitors' fastest lap times determined the starting order. IMSA then arranged the grid to put GTPs ahead of the LMP2, GTD Pro, and GTD cars.^[9]

Pole positions in each class are indicated in bold and with ‡.
