In qualifying ahead of Saturday’s NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series race at Rockingham, Corey Day put the No. 17 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet on pole with a 27.717s lap. He will share the front row with reigning series champion Jesse Love in the No. 2 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet.
“I felt really good,” said Day. “We got a really good car, so thanks to my guys. It always makes my job easy when it’s that good. Super excited for the race tomorrow. We’re definitely in a good spot. I think track position is going to be pretty crucial.”
Parker Retzlaff qualified third, followed by Justin Allgaier and Carson Kvapil. Taylor Gray, Sam Mayer, Brandon Jones, Sheldon Creed, and Brent Crews filled out the remainder of the top ten.
Popular YouTuber Cleetus McFarland (Garrett Mitchell) was the first driver to go out on track, piloting the No. 33 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet. His stated goal was to not be last, and he did manage to do so, besting both Joey Gase Motorsports entries on the timesheets. He will start 35th in the 38-car field.
With AM Racing withdrawing the No. 25 entry of Nick Sanchez earlier in the week, no cars went home.
