Notes: Originally scheduled for June 9.
Postponed one week on June 6 by track officials when Lyndon Johnson declared June 9 a national day of mourning after the assassination of Robert Kennedy.
John Martin was the AMC team mechanic, and intended to qualify in place of George Follmer who was racing Indy Cars at Mosport.
Mark Donohue opted to start from the rear rather than use an alternate qualifier. He was also racing in Mosport during qualifying.
