Qualifying Results

Second-in-points Tim McDonnell has not recorded a top-7 finish in 9-straight events. Last season, he went from "Mr. Consistency" to "The McDoninator" after his Pocono sweep set him on course to his second-straight series title. Craig Lee closes in with 5 top-7 finishes in the same span, only 19 points behind McDonnell and 125 out of the lead. He will start the first Pocono race in 18th, as Tim and points leader Tony Pizzaro monopolize the front row. 

11th through 14th in points are separated by only 12 points in total, ranging from 73 to 85 points behind Matt Raboin for the cutoff with 9 races left in the regular season:

9. Scott Jackson: +91

10. Matt Raboin: +73

------------------------

11. Zach Michael: -73

12. John Tharp: -82

13. Johnny Reed Foley: -83

14. Dave Miller: -85

The two Pocono events take up 23% of the remaining races, as drivers remain vigilant to the Championship prize. Who can dethrone the American off-brand dominance in the second half of 2021? Perhaps nobody.
