Qualifying Results

Bring out the orange juice! Giant balls of inflated oranges traverse the speedway in a pre-race ceremony of the ages! In a more sour note, this race marks the 20th anniversary of the death of six-time N.O.R.L. Extravaganza Series Champion Harrison James. James died in a practice crash at Chicagoland in July 11th, 2003. His memory continues to live on, without a #40 on the racetrack since that day. Rick Jackson helped take supremacy over the gap James once filled in the series. He will start on the pole Friday Night. Zach Michael, who's earned more top-24 finishes than anyone else in the series this year, grids on the outside.

Bill Werkheiser nearly ended his winless-streak in this race last season, going on eight years since Dover of 2015. His teammate Randy Dobbins won in a miraculous late-race charge two years before in what is so far his last career victory. His other teammate Scott Jackson won here the year after. W.A.S.P. domination has been hard to come by over the last near-decade of Extravaganza Racing, but here it is well in flux. Despite lackluster qualifying spots, expect more of the same at Chicagoland.
