NASCAR and Ferrari Dominate Le Mans Qualifying and Practice Sessions

Jenson Button has praised the "phenomenal effort" of Hendrick Motorsports after the team's #48 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 was almost four seconds faster than the quickest GTE Am entry in Wednesday's opening qualifying session at Le Mans. The team had modest pre-event predictions of being somewhere in the middle of the GTE Am pack. However, Button cautioned that finishing ahead of the GTE Am runners will likely be more difficult in the race due to multiple factors, including possible rain showers predicted for this weekend's event.
