The Way I See It!
Qualifying was rained out yesterday so the field is set by 2016 owner’s points putting Dalton Sargent on the pole for the race. Chris Buescher is in the booth with Kevin Lee and Philly Parsons. The race will be 78 laps.
Sargent took the inside lane, though he preferred the outside, to break up two Venturini Mototsports cars being lined up together.
Noah Gragson has outside pole. It appears Noah beat Dalton Sargent to the start-finish line. Continue reading “2017 ARCA Series Race Four Talladega”
Congrats to Blake Koch on his first Xfinity series pole. He was last on the track and fastest on the track – a one car team pushing past the JR Motorsports entry.

There are reports that possibly Ross Chastain slugged Jeremy Clements when Jeremy grabbed his should while attempting to express his displeasure with Chastain.
