Hot off his win at Nashville last weekend, Chase Elliott in the No. 9 Nascar Chevy Camaro ZL1 nabbed the Cup Series pole position at Road America on July 2nd.
Elliott guided the No. 9 Chevy around the 14-turn 4.048-mile road course in 134.4274 seconds, hitting a top speed of 108.407 mph. He bumped Chase Briscoe’s No. 14 Ford Mustang from the pole, who clocked a 134.465-second lap at 108.376 mph. Kyle Larson, driver of the No. 5 Nascar Chevy, will start third, followed by Tyler Reddick’s No. 8 Chevy machine. Austin Cindric’s No. 2 Mustang will start fifth.
Not only did Elliott earn last week’s Cup Series race victory, but he also guided the No. 9 Nascar Chevy to the win at last year’s Road America race. Last year, Elliott qualified 34th but showed off his road course prowess and charged to the front of the field. Of course, he won’t have nearly as big of a challenge ahead of him when the green flag drops on Sunday, July 3rd at 3 p.m. ET.
