ALTON, Va. — Practice and qualifying have concluded for the Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli’s CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series race at Virginia International Raceway.
Tristan McKee in the No. 28 Spire/Gainbridge/SLR-M1 Chevrolet claimed his second-career pole award with a best time of 1:49.079.
“It’s been a really good weekend so far,” said McKee. “We’ve had really good speed. My lap was a little bit messy, but we came out on top by not much over Carson [Brown], my teammate. Overall, the TeamSLR and M1 guys brought really fast Chevys. We were all there close to the top five. It really showed the hard work we’ve been putting in. Some of the track was a little bit shaded, so it was hard to see some of the corners and I messed up a little bit, but not bad. Thanks to Gainbridge, Chevy, Spire, HendrickCars.com and to Josh Wise, Scott Speed, Lorin Ranier for all the help in preparing for this race.”
Jared Odrick (No. 00 Black Underwear/CoolBoxx Chevrolet Camaro) was the fastest of the Pro/Am Challenge contenders, qualifying eighth overall with a time of 1:50.712.
