Graham Doyle completed the qualifying duties for the TireRack.com Battle on the Bricks in the No. 45 DEX Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2. With an 18-car field in the GTD category, the 15-minute session proved to be intense and difficult to get a clear lap around the 2.489-mile road course. Doyle navigated the Indianapolis Motor Speedway seeking that ideal lap with his best time of 01:25.571 equates to 18th on the starting grid for the No. 45 DEX Lamborghini GTD team.
The TireRack.com Battle on the Bricks from Indianapolis Motor Speedway will see the field go green at 11:40 a.m. ET on Sunday. All six hours of racing coverage will be broadcast on Peacock with NBC on air beginning at 3 p.m. ET through the checkered flag.

Graham Doyle, IMEC co-driver, No. 45 DEX Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2: “I think qualifying immediately following the Pilot Challenge race changed the track for us. I spent a lot of time trying to get the pick up off the tires in order to get a clean lap. 18th is not where we deserve to be starting with the car we have, but we have six hours to make up spots and strategy will be key.”
