Hayden Gillim earned pole position during MotoAmerica Stock 1000 qualifying Saturday at Ridge Motorsports Park, in Shelton, Washington. The defending Champion lapped the 2.5-mile road course in 1:40.904 on his Dunlop-shod Real Steel Motorsports Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP. Not only was that good enough to top the field of 26 riders, it was also good enough to lower the Stock 1000 lap record of 1:41.180 that Gillim set Friday afternoon.

Jayson Uribe was the best of the rest with a time of 1:41.311 on his OrangeCat Racing BMW M 1000 RR.

Ashton Yates claimed the third and final spot on the front row with a lap at 1:42.031 on his Jones Honda.

The second row of the grid will be composed of FLO4LAW Racing Yamaha’s Benjamin Smith (1:42.291), Motorsports Exotica BMW’s Andrew Lee (1:42.642), and Visit Indiana/Tom Wood Powersports BMW’s Nolan Lamkin (1:42.673).
