Andrew Ranger Scores Pole with Record Qualifying Lap at CTMP

Andrew Ranger has always been considered a road course ace and in need of some points to close in on the championship with three races to go, he is using those skills to his advantage. The Roxton, Pond native scored the pole for the Pinty’s presents the Clarington 200 with a lap of 83.261 seconds (106.321 mph) in the No. 27 Mopar/Exide Dodge to become the all-time series leader in pole awards with 15. It also marks Ranger’s record-fifth pole at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park.

Ranger enters this weekend sitting 26 points behind L.P. Dumoulin in the championship standings with three races to go, despite struggling earlier this season. If Ranger can win the championship this season, it will mark his third career championship. Fitzpatrick, who is currently tied with Ranger for second in points, will start second after posting a lap of 83.597 seconds. Fitzpatrick won the spring race at CTMP and holds the most victories on the 11-turn road course with four.

Marc Antoine Camirand will start third, followed by points leader L.P. Dumoulin and DJ Kennington. Kennington had to change the motor following the first practice after laying down a trail of fluid.

Scott Steckly qualified sixth, followed by Jeff Lapcevich, Robin Buck, Kerry Micks and Alex Tagliani.

Sunday’s Pinty’s presents the Clarington 200 is scheduled to take the green flag at 10 a.m. EDT.
