CASCAR SUPER SERIES:
Mosport Int'l Raceway: Qualifying Summary & Grid

Gibbons grabs the pole for the Berms R Us presents the Clarington 200 
CASCAR Super Series race at Mosport Int'l Raceway

OSHAWA, ON - A pair of qualifying sessions took place at Mosport Int'l 
Raceway on Saturday afternoon to set the starting grid for Sunday 
afternoon's 'Berms-R-Us presents the Clarington 200' CASCAR Super Series 
race. Peter Gibbons  who won this event in 1999, 2000 and 2003  set the 
fastest time in the first session and it held up throughout the second to 
earn him his second consecutive Super Series pole position.
         Gibbons' Canadian Tire Chevrolet lapped the 10-turn, 2.459-mile 
Mosport road course in one-minute and 26.183 seconds to establish a new 
CASCAR qualifying record. That translated into an average lap speed of 
165.290 km/h.
         Four-time and reigning Super Series National champion Don Thomson 
posted the best time of the second session, but it wasn't enough to bump 
Gibbons from the top of the combined session speed chart. The Home Hardware 
Chevy driver's best effort was 1:26.515, which will place him alongside of 
Gibbons on the front row to start Sunday's 51-lap feature race.
         Starting third will be Thomson's sophomore teammate, J.R. 
Fitzpatrick, driver of the #84 Cambridge Rigging Chevrolet. Last year's 
runner-up in the Rookie of the Year chase attended a road racing school 
during the off-season and it paid off during qualifying today at Mosport.
         Fitzpatrick will start beside St-Eustache Super Series race winner 
Kerry Micks. The Power Water Taurus driver is a talented road racer and he 
will be a threat on Sunday. Current points leader Ron Beauchamp Jr. will 
line up sixth in his MOPAR / Exide / Mobil 1 Dodge Charger, just behind 
last year's Mosport road course race winner Jeff Lapcevich (Fastline / Tim 
Horton's / EMCEA Transport Chevrolet Monte Carlo).
         In all, 33 drivers qualified for the 'Berms-R-Us presents the 
Clarington 200'. The green flag is scheduled to fly at 2 p.m. The CASCAR 
Power Water Sportsman Series opens its 2005 racing season this evening at 
the Mosport Speedway half-mile oval.
