Alon Day Earns First CUBE 3 TA2 Series Pole at Lime Rock Park

Team SLR has been dominant in the CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series all season long, winning every single event in 2026 from the pole with 19-year-old Chevrolet development driver Helio Meza. However, this week, at least in qualifying, there’s a different driver at the top of the speed charts.

Four-time NASCAR Euro Series Champion Alon Day will be leading the field to green in Saturday’s 68-lap (or 75-minute) CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series event at the 1.53-mile Lime Rock Park, after successfully doing something that nobody else has done in 2026 – outrun Helio Meza.

The driver of the No. 17 JSSI SLR-M1 Racecars Chevrolet Camaro posted a lap time of 51.172 seconds around the 7-turn road course, in comparison to Meza’s 51.218-second time, which earned the native of Isreal his first pole position.

Team SLR swept the top three spots in qualifying for the Lime Rock Memorial Day Classic, with CARS Tour and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series part-timer (and former CUBE 3 TA2 Series winner) Ben Maier starting third in the No. 8 Chevrolet Camaro.

Gavin Gleitsman put together an impressive effort in qualifying on Friday and will start a career-best fourth in the No. 51 Exron Capital / ImageFX Chevrolet Camaro.

Connor Mosack, driving the No. 27 Sunoco / Guthrie’s Garage / SLR-M1 Chevrolet Camaro in place of Lanie Buice (who will forego this weekend’s event at Lime Rock Park after being involved in a hard wreck in a Late Model at Tri-County last Saturday) rounded out the top five.

Gian Buffomante, Adrian Wlostowski, Ethan Tovo, Noah Harmon, and Landen Lewis (making his CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series debut with Kevin Harvick, Inc.) rounded out the top 10 in qualifying.
