NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series Focused Health 250 Starting Lineup (COTA)

They may not be full-time in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series anymore, but Connor Zilisch and Shane Van Gisbergen have picked up where they left off on the road courses in NASCAR’s second-tier division.

Connor Zilisch, driving the No. 1 Roto-Rooter Chevrolet Camaro for JR Motorsports, posted a quick time to earn his 10th pole in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series, beating out Shane Van Gisbergen by two-tenths of a second to secure the top position.

Austin Hill was third, with Brandon Jones and Justin Allgaier rounding out the top-five. Carson Kvapil was sixth, driving a JR Motorsports-prepared No. 91 for DGM Racing, with Brent Crews, Sam Mayer, Sheldon Creed, and Sammy Smith completing the top-10.

With 40 drivers entered in Saturday’s Focused Health 250 at Circuit of The Americas, two drivers were sent home: the No. 5 for Hettinger Racing, driven by Tyler Gonzalez, and the No. 92 for DGM Racing, driven by Josh Williams.
