Justin Marks in the No. 99 Trackhouse Chevrolet Camaro was once again the fastest in time trials for the Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli’s Denny Lamers Tribute 100 at Road America, earning his second-consecutive Motul Pole Award and fourth of the season with a record-setting time of 2m01.527s,
“We had a long discussion today after practice about how to get where I needed to be for qualifying, and the car just did everything I wanted it to do,” said Marks. “It stuck in the right places, and we were able to go out and do three good laps and park it, so I’m excited for tomorrow. The weekend started off pretty rough; I think we had a differential issue in the first test and we didn’t make any laps, then it was kind of a handful. We had to work really hard on it this weekend to get it going.”
