Despite challenging track conditions, CLM Motorsports secured the No. 1 qualifier spot with an 8.14-second run at 185 mph after two qualifying attempts. Their strategic approach and tuning paid off as they prepared for race day, fully aware that the track surface would be a critical factor.

In the first round, CLM Motorsports clocked a solid 8.25 seconds at 184 mph, securing a victory.
