    NASCAR at Road America - hard to believe that the
    Cup cars are 14 seconds slower around Road America
    than a little 1 L Stohr! 61 cubic inches!

    The SCCA DSR class (sports racer) regularly had pole
    positions under 2.00. They have been renamed P1 & P2.
    This year on June 18 the #26 of Chip Romer was 2:00.979

    Chase Elliott has won the pole position for Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series
    race at Road America (3 p.m. ET, USA Network), claiming his second pole
    of the season.

    Elliott turned the fastest lap (2 minutes, 14.427 seconds) among the 10
    drivers that advanced to the final round of qualifying from the
    preceding two group sessions.

    Last year at Road America, Elliott had to start 34th after two stoppages
    in qualifying kept him from posting a lap. He was still able to win.

    On Sunday, he’ll have a much clearer view coming to green as he tries to repeat in Wisconsin.

    “It was a little more fun that I thought it was gonna be, for sure,” Elliott told NBC Sports. “Hopefully, the results are the same tomorrow
    as they were last year. That’s what’s important.

    “…We’ll try to go to work and see if we can get it driving like it needs to for tomorrow. I think it’s gonna be really, really hard to pass,
    based on what I saw there in (Saturday) practice.

    “It’d be nice to keep track position as long as we can. (It’s) always a tough thing at road courses to manage that balance of what to do at what
    time, so we’ll see.”
