NASCAR K&N: Andrew Ranger on pole in Lime Rock

By ,

NASCAR Canadian Tire Series double-champion and owner of six road course wins, Andrew Ranger has won the pole for the K&N East Series K&N 100 at Lime Rock Park.

Andrew Ranger completed a fast lap of 55.253 seconds (97.732 mph) during NASCAR group qualifying Friday at the 1.50-mile road course in Northwestern Connecticut to earn the K&N 100 Coors Light Pole Award, his first in just his fourth series start.

“I’m really happy about it; it's my first pole of the year,” Ranger said. “We had a good practice, a really good car, I'm excited about tomorrow.”

Although he has tested at Lime Rock recently, the K&N 100 will be Ranger’s first race at the historic course.

“It’s a really tough track because there’s a couple places where it's very technical,” Ranger said. “I know a couple places where you can pass, but it's still really tough. It's great to start on the pole, we'll see how everything goes tomorrow.”
