Acura are going for their third win in a row in 2025, following victory for the #93 in Detroit and for the #60 Acura MSR machine last time out at Watkins Glen.

The Acura MSR team are looking for the marque's first win at Road America in the GTP era, with Acura's last win at the track coming in 2022 in the DPi-spec Acura ARX-05. Braun and Blomqvist have stood on the podium at this event for Acura, finishing second in 2023 as part of an Acura 2-3 result.

Quotes
Nick Yelloly (#93 Acura Meyer Shank Racing with Curb Agajanian Acura ARX-06) Qualified 1st: "Very happy about getting the pole, of course it's the best place to start. And I got a couple more points as well. I made a little mistake on the lap after, where I was actually tracking a little bit faster. So, I'm glad we were able to put it on pole after all, with two of my old sparring partners from my old manufacturer behind me! Nice way to finish the day. Great job to all the men and women at HRC and Meyer Shank Racing for putting it all together in order to give me a car that was capable of accomplishing this. Onwards to tomorrow."
Colin Braun (#60 Acura Meyer Shank Racing with Curb Agajanian Acura ARX-06) Qualified 4th: "Decent qualifying for us. Struggled a little bit this morning just to get a clean lap, but I knew we had a good car. It's just a matter of putting it together and getting a rhythm and getting a lap in. I mean, it's so close out there. Obviously, congrats to the 93 guys and Nick, that was a nice lap. But it's super tight in this GTP class. I feel like we have a good race car and certainly both Acuras starting in the front gives us some options. Proud of all the guys. They've been working hard and it's nice to see it paying off."
