On Monday at the NASCAR Hall of Fame, Brennan Poole helped unveil a new ticket program that offered free tickets for any kids under the age of 12.
It was an exciting start to the week for Poole, who explained the new program to a throng of children who assembled for the ‘kids-only’ press conference.
Now, he looks for an exciting end to the week, this time in Road America’s victory lane with a trophy – and Chase berth – in hand.
And statistically speaking, it just might happen following Saturday’s Road America 180 Fired Up By Johnsonville (3 p.m. ET on NBCSN).
Poole looks to become the latest first-time winner at Road America. Over the last six and half seasons (2010-2016) the NASCAR XFINITY Series has seen 20 first-time series winners, and over that time, six (30%) have come from two tracks: Road America and Texas Motor Speedway.
Road America’s series first-time winners are Nelson Piquet Jr. (2012), AJ Allmendinger (2013) and Brendan Gaughan (2014). This season, the NASCAR XFINITY Series has seen two new first-time winners – Daniel Suárez at Michigan and Justin Marks at Mid-Ohio.
Brennan Poole joins Brandon Jones, Darrell Wallace Jr., Blake Koch and Ryan Sieg as drivers inside the top-12 in points who are still looking for their first NASCAR XFINITY Series career win.
