After dominating the previous two events at Circuit ICAR, Andrew Ranger kept the positive momentum going as he would score the pole for Sunday’s Jiffy Luke 100. Ranger lapped the airport-based road course in 95.956 seconds (79.274 mph) during qualifying for his 14th career pole, tying him with J.R. Fitzpatrick for the NCAT all-time record.
He’ll be joined on the front row by fellow Quebec driver Marc-Antoine Camirand, who is making his third career Canadian Tire Series start. Camirand posted a sixth place finish last fall at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park.
2013 Rookie of the Year Alex Guenette will start third, followed by L.P. Dumoulin and Alex Labbe. Kerry Micks qualified sixth, followed by Elie Arseneau, Alex Tagliani, Gary Klutt and Jason Hathaway. Hathaway comes into this weekend looking for his second straight win, following Autodrome Chaudiere.
Defending series champion Scott Steckly qualified 11th, with points leader J.R. Fitzpatrick in 12th. Fitzpatrick won the season opener on the CTMP road course back in May.
Sunday’s Jiffy Lube 100 is scheduled to take the green flag at 2:35 p.m. EST.
