Scuderia Tutino was deleted from the full-time grid, in spite of the organization's insistence that it has enough funding to finance a full-time run in 2012. The team's arguments will be heard after the Round of Quebec.

Dan Mullen did not provide the commentary for this round due to illness. OEN play-by-play announcer Scott Bush filled in.
