Recap: 
Both of the Acura Team Penske ARX-05 Prototypes will start inside the top five for Sunday’s SportsCar Grand Prix at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park, with Helio Castroneves nearly capturing the pole position before spinning his car on his quick lap. Following a one-hour final practice sessions, Castroneves and Juan Pablo Montoya took the reigns for their teams to determine their starting positions. In the end, Montoya placed his No. 6 Acura in the fourth position and Castroneves will start on the outside of the front row. The three-time Indianapolis 500 winner spun innocently in the track’s hairpin corner on his quick lap, but no damage was sustained to the Acura.
