Things did not look too promising for Andrew Ranger when he started his day of work at the Phoenix Speedway. But things improved during the day and the Quebec driver was able to qualify 19th out of 44 drivers for the NASCAR K&N West series’ finale.
In the morning, Ranger’s No. 35 Waste Management car died when it started rolling because of a transmission failure.
After losing 45 minutes in the pits for repairs, Ranger was able to come back to work and try to tame a car that handled strangely and the Phoenix oval. Nonetheless, he managed to rank 25th.
During the qualifying session, the driver from Roxton Pond, Quebec did his best to make out for the lost time and was able to qualify 19th. He’s part of a very tight group of 23 drivers separated by less than a second.
The two-time NASCAR Canadian Tire Series champion remains optimistic for the race.
Greg Pursley was the fastest driver on track, earning him his third pole of the season. Former NASCAR Sprint Cup star Michael Waltrip qualified 7th.
