Chip Herr earned his sixth-career pole position for Friday's SPEED World Challenge Touring Car Finale that will be held at Road Atlanta while Rookie Patrick Lindsey will start a career-best second.
Herr, in the No. 97 Mazdaspeed/Tindol Motorsports MAZDA6, continued to show tremendous speed. Lindsey earned his highest-ever qualifying spot by putting his No. 57 Horton Motorsports/Sloan Securities MAZDA6 second on the grid.
Last year's Road Atlanta race winner, Michael Galati qualified his No. 95 Mazda North America/Tindol MAZDA6 third.
The highest qualifying Acura was Championship contender Pierre Kleinubing who will start fourth. Current point leader Peter Cunningham put his Acura TSX sixth on the grid.
Canadian Kuno Wittmer, who is second in the Drivers' Championship qualified his Acura TSX 11th, giving himself quite a bit of work to do in the race should he hope to capture the title.
