Bowmanville, ON, Canada (Saturday, July 13, 2024) — The Paul Miller Racing team qualified fifth for Sunday’s IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship race from Canadian Tire Motorsport Park.
With Madison Snow at the helm, the No. 1 iHeartRadio BMW M4 GT3 turned a best lap time of 1:15.193, slotting in P5 on the GTD Pro grid.
Snow and co-driver Bryan Sellers are the reigning race winners at CTMP in the GTD class, scoring an impressive victory here last year en route to their second IMSA GTD championship.
The duo will be teaming up again and hoping to repeat that feat in the GTD Pro class this year. In the team’s first year in GTD Pro, Paul Miller Racing sits fourth in points in a season that, thus far, has been highlighted by a third-place finish at the Rolex 24 at Daytona back in January.
“Fifth is smack dab in the middle of the pack. We’d like to be further up, but ultimately, it’s just qualifying,” Paul Miller Racing team manager, Mitchell Simmons, said.
“Our goal this weekend is to be competitive in a race scenario at the front of the field. I think if we can get up there and really dice it up with the GTD Pro drivers, we have a shot at this. But, we won’t know until everyone’s cards are on the table at the green flag.”
Television coverage for Sunday’s two-hour, 40-minute IMSA Grand Prix from CTMP begins at 11 AM ET on USA Network. Flag-to-flag coverage is also available on NBC Peacock.

“Canadian Tire Motorsport Park is always a fun track to race around. It’s one of the best tracks to qualify at too—it’s very high speed and very challenging, but also very short. Some of the tracks that we go to are a lot longer, and when you’re going for that qualifying lap, those longer tracks are a little more forgiving. If you’re missing a little bit of time in one area of the track, there’s more opportunity to make that up. That’s not how this place is. You have to hit your marks every time. I think we had a great qualifying run here today, it’s just unfortunate that some of the other cars had more pace than we did today.”
