What do Sam Ard, Trevor Bayne, Austin Dillon, Jeff Gordon, Mark Martin and Michael Waltrip have in common?
All
six drivers have won three consecutive poles in the NASCAR
Nationwide Series, a record in the series.
Only
one of them, however, has an opportunity to break the six-way tie with a fourth
consecutive pole this Saturday for the Alliance Truck Parts 250 at Michigan
International Speedway.
Dillon,
who is fourth in the standings behind leader Regan Smith, arrives in
Michigan with a streak of three consecutive poles (Charlotte, Dover, Iowa).
Unfortunately, the strong starts have not resulted in trips to Victory Lane. He
did although turn his pole at Iowa last Sunday into a runner-up finish.
His
three poles in 2013 already match Dillon’s career high from a year ago. His
first pole in the series came last year at Michigan. He went on to finish the
race fifth. Dillon was able to capitalize on his other two poles last season by
posting a win in both races at Kentucky.
