ROSSBURG, Ohio — Stewart Friesen was the winner of the pole award at Eldora Speedway for the fifth-annual Eldora Dirt Derby.

Friesen turned a lap of 90.000 mph to take the pole position. However, because of the format of the Eldora race, it does not mean he will start on the pole. He will have to win his heat race to maintain that spot.

The following drivers round out the top five qualifiers and will start on the pole of their heat races.

• Chase Briscoe — 89.383
• Kaz Grala — 89.202
• Christopher Bell — 89.038
• Noah Gragson — 88.933

The heats roll off at 7:30 p.m.
