Defending champion takes back-to-back wins opening weekend at VIR

Virginia International Raceway hosted Round 1 and 2 of the
2018 Championship over the weekend with
beautiful weather for racing in the hills of southern Virginia.

With two new entrants in the series,
the #7 Stohr of Mike Quinn and the #12 Mantac of Riley Harris,
qualifying one looked to be up for grabs on Saturday morning.
However when the time ran out on Q1,
it was defending champions Mayer Motorsports
locking out the front row with the
#77 of Alex Mayer taking pole position and
#14 Jose Gerardo on the outside.
