There’s no place like home. Those words are fluttering through the mind of Donald Chisholm as he would score his first career NASCAR Canadian Tire Series presented by Mobil 1 Pole Award at the end of qualifying for the Wilson Equipment 300. Chisholm would lap the 0.333-mile oval in 14.541 seconds earlier this afternoon. Chisholm hopes to best his career-best third place finish from 2011 tonight on the track that his family owns.
Andrew Ranger would qualify second as he looks for his third victory of the 2014 season, with 2013 series champion Scott Steckly qualifying third. Steckly is hoping to score his second victory of the season after winning St. Eustache earlier this year. Defending race winner and final practice leader Jason Hathaway qualified fourth, with D.J. Kennington rounding out the top five.
Stefan Rzadzinski, who is filling in for Alex Tagliani, would qualify sixth, followed by Joey McColm, Alex Labbe, J.R. Fitzpatrick and Mark Dilley.
Points leader L.P. Dumoulin would not post a time in qualifying as his team was in the process of changing the motor following a blown motor at the end of the second practice. He will start 15th of the 16 cars entered, as Paul Jean failed to post a lap as well.
The Wilson Equipment 300 is scheduled to go green at 8 p.m. ADT. Fans can follow along with the live updates from the track at the NASCAR Home Tracks website.
