For the third time this season, Max Reaves has earned the pole for Saturday night’s (May 17) ARCA Menards Series East race at Flat Rock Speedway.
The 15-year-old Reaves’ fast lap of 12.669 seconds was a tenth of a second faster than the second-place qualifier. Reaves is a perfect three for three in starting from the pole position in East races this year.
Starting second and sharing the front row with Reaves will be Matt Kemp, who has the best start of his career this evening.
On row two, Tyler Reif will start third, with current points leader Isaac Kitzmiller rolling off beside him in fourth.
To round out the top five, Takuma Koga will start fifth. He’ll share the third row with Jeffery MacZink, who will roll off the grid sixth.
The remainder of the top 10 sees Trevor Ward starting seventh, Zachary Tinkle starting eighth, Austin Vaughn starting ninth, and Alex Malycke in 10th.
All 15 cars that are entered in this evening’s race took to the track in the qualifying session.
