LEXINGTON – Practice and qualifying have concluded for the Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli’s CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series race at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.
TeamSLR’s Corey Day in the No. 17 HendrickCars.com/SLR-M1 Chevrolet Camaro set a new track qualifying record, capturing his first-career pole award with a time of 1:23.553.
“It was a good lap, of course,” said Day. “It’s been a really good weekend so far. I’m still new to this road course thing, so I’ve been studying a lot and working hard with Josh Wise, Scott Speed and the team, just trying to get better at this stuff. It seems to be paying off so far.
“It’s a good start to the weekend. We’ll study our laps and try to recreate it for 45 laps tomorrow.”
Barry Boes (No. 27 Accio Data/SLR-M1 Chevrolet Camaro) was the fastest of the Pro/Am Challenge contenders and third overall with a time of 1:24.073.
