MONTREAL -- Andrew Ranger made a little effort go a long way as he set the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series qualifying record at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in qualifying Friday for the NAPA AUTOPRO 100.

From Roxton Pond, Que., the Montreal crowd favorite Ranger turned just two laps during the qualifying session and one of those took the Keystone Light Pole Award with a record-setting lap of 1:44.900 (92.969 mph). It was Ranger’s second pole in a row, and 11th of his career overall, which tied Don Thomson Jr. for the Canadian Tire Series career lead.

Ranger is a two-time winner in Montreal, in 2007 and 2010. He has one win in three previous starts this year.

Ranger's No. 27 Dodge Dealers of Quebec/PNH Dodge was fastest in the second of two groups to qualifying – road race style – Friday, but Alex Tagliani led the first group at 1:45.841 (92.142) and will start on the outside pole for Saturday’s event. Kerry Micks (1:45.985/92.017), Jason Bowles (1:46.167/91.859) and J.R. Fitzpatrick (1:46.517/91.557) rounded out the top-five qualifiers

Rookie John Farano, J.F. Dumoulin, L.P. Dumoulin, points leader Scott Steckly and Jeff Lapcevich brought home the top 10 fastest cars in qualifying at the 2.709-mile road course.

Green flag for the NAPA AUTOPRO 100 is scheduled for Saturday at 9:30 a.m. ET. The race will be carried live in Quebec on RDS and will air in its entirety on TSN in Canada at 12:30 p.m.
