Minor Claims Pole with 1:51.2

October 11, 2014
Tim Minor put his No. 88 into the 1:51.2 range

Watkins Glen, NY – Tim Minor rocketed to the fastest lap in qualifying, and the fastest around Watkins Glen for any F2000 car ever, taking pole for the first F2000 Series race of the weekend with a lap of 1:51.291. Minor played a game of fast laps with Sam Beasley and Skylar Robinson, and those three will start one-two-three for this afternoon’s race. Minor’s Saturday penalty has since been rescinded by series officials.

Key, however, is Minor adds three bonus points for pole and extends a tight points lead by three over Robinson in the final weekend of the season.

The pace at the front of the grid was no less than frantic, with Sergio Pasian in fourth and David Grant in fifth, and both of those men in the 1:51 range as well.

Completing the top ten were John McCusker, Thomas McGregor, Tim Paul, Trent Walko and Kevin Kopp.
