The New Zealander claimed the Kennametal Pole Award for Saturday’s NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series Pit Boss/FoodMaxx 250, turning a lap of 75.029 seconds (95.483 mph) in the No. 9 SuperFile Chevrolet for JR Motorsports. It marked his sixth career series pole, his first of the 2026 season and his third pole in three Sonoma starts.

Shane van Gisbergen earned the pole position for Sunday’s inaugural NASCAR Cup Series race at Naval Base Coronado. The Trackhouse Racing driver will lead the field to green after posting the fastest lap in Saturday’s qualifying session. The full NASCAR Wire Service report follows.
