Alton, VA – Tim Minor lowered his own qualifying track record, set just a day ago, by two hundredths of a second en route to his second WISKO Pole Award of the opening weekend. The No. 88 Ski Motorsports Citation ran just four laps in qualifying, coming in quickest at 1:53.902.

Minor will line up alongside Kyle Connery, who was nine tenths off the pole time, with Zach Craigo third fastest in his best F2000 qualifying performance ever, just a tenth off Connery.

Roberto Lorena was fourth quick. The Brazilian HP-Tech driver was two positions back from his Saturday qualifying performance before being disqualified from the race due to a technical infraction.

Kevin Kopp rounded out the top five ahead of David Grant, Federico Mosconi, Shane Morris, Tim Paul and Dean Baker.

Race two of the 2013 season follows at 3:00pm local time at VIR.
