Qualifying Results
The points standings have rubber-banded back to a 10-driver race after Scott Jackson and Ryan Heuser crashed at Charlotte last week. Heuser qualified towards the back and fell victim while flying through the field. Jackson lost a lap early after stalling his engine on pit road. It took him 100 laps to get it back, suffering the same fate as Ryan while driving towards the front. This week, all of the Championship contenders will have to fly through the field in danger of the same fate. The top-7 qualifiers are all outside of the chase going into Rockingham.
Ken Joynt wins his first career Extravaganza Series pole with a lap of 23.424. Scott Drake pulled off the greatest qualifying run of his career as well, starting fourth on the grid after a fan-favorite top-10 effort last week at Charlotte. While these drivers start at the front, Charlotte winner Rick Jackson comes off the grid 37th. Eight time winner and second-in-points John Battista will start a rare 31st, leaving his Championship favoritism at risk with only three races to go. Points leader Ken Pettit led 91 laps here in the spring. He may be the one to jump ahead of the rest, qualifying 10th with a possible bunch-up within the top-5 in the early laps.
