Qualifying Results
Ryan Heuser ties points leader Rick Jackson with his fourth pole of the season at Lime Rock Park. He won the inaugural road course event in 2022 and looks to continue his recent streak of dominance in grand style. Jackson on the other hand has a platitude of work ahead of him, mired back in 16th at a racetrack he has struggled at in the past. He has no room for error either, as the top-8 in points are separated by only 105 points. Either of these drivers can come away with the points lead after this race:
Current Points Positions (Race 23 of 26)

An unbelievable plethora of talent all around, as drivers like rookie Bink Lucas and veteran Bill Werkheiser still have a shot at the Championship crown with only three races left in the regular season. John Battista and Ryan Heuser come in as the early pre-race favorites, with Tim McDonnell ranked as high as he has all season. Look for the "Forrest Grove" safety bar on the second-to-last straightaway. Doom has evaded this racetrack for now.
