· Yahoo Sports
In qualifying ahead of Saturday's NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series race at Rockingham, Corey Day put the No. 17 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet on pole with a 27.717s lap. He will share the front row with reigning series champion Jesse Love in the No. 2 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet, who fell 0.064s short of the top spot.
"I felt really good," said Day. "We got a really good car, so thanks to my guys. It always makes my job easy when it's that good. Super excited for the race tomorrow. We're definitely in a good spot. I think track position is going to be pretty crucial."
