Chandler Smith earns Winchester 400 pole

A pair of top prospects will lead the field to green on Sunday in the prestigious Winchester 400.

The two-race ARCA winner put down a fast lap of 15.229 seconds on Saturday night just enough to top Harrison Burton’s 15.289 second lap. Together, the two Toyota affiliated drivers will share the front row for Indiana’s Super Late Model crown jewel.

The second row will be composed of Dalton Armstrong and Donnie Wilson. Carson Hocevar completed the top-five in time trials.

Notbale incidents from qualifying included 2016 winner Travis Braden crashing his Super in the final minutes of practice. He has yet to decide if he will take the green flag on Sunday.

The 47th annual Winchester 400 is scheduled to go green at 2 p.m. ET. Speed51.com has a live pay-per-view of the event. The complete starting lineup can be found below.
