The Ultimate Super Late Model Series has convened on the County Line Raceway in Elm City, NC for its final race of the 2014 season. On Friday night, most of the starting lineup was set for the $10,000-to-win affair.
Chris Ferguson set fast time in qualifying among the 32 cars and drivers assembled for the event with a best lap of 14.143 seconds around the 3/8 mile clay oval. The North Carolina driver was followed in time-trials by Casey Roberts, Dennis Franklin and Russell Erwin. Those four drivers earned pole positions for the four heat races that would be used to set the first eight rows of the starting grid for Saturday’s feature.
