Day ups Mid-Ohio TA2 track record with pole lap

TeamSLR’s Corey Day in the No. 17 HendrickCars.com/SLR-M1 Chevrolet Camaro set a new track qualifying record, capturing his first-career Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli’s CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series pole award with a time of 1m23.553s at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.

“It was a good lap, of course,” said Day. “It’s been a really good weekend so far. I'm still new to this road course thing, so I've been studying a lot and working hard with Josh Wise, Scott Speed and the team, just trying to get better at this stuff. It seems to be paying off so far. It’s a good start to the weekend. We'll study our laps and try to recreate it for 45 laps tomorrow.”

Barry Boes (No. 27 Accio Data/SLR-M1 Chevrolet Camaro) was the fastest of the Pro/Am Challenge contenders and third overall with a time of 1m24.073s.

The race will be contested Sunday at 1:35 p.m. ET. It will be streamed live on Trans Am’s YouTube channel, @TheTransAmSeries and broadcast live on SPEED SPORT 1, with coverage beginning at 1:00 p.m. ET. An encore presentation will air on SPEED SPORT 1 at 6:00 p.m. ET. For more information on where you can watch SPEED SPORT 1, click here.
