MADISON, Ill. – Rising star Devlin DeFrancesco will start on pole position for Saturday’s Indy Pro 2000 Oval Challenge of St. Louis Presented by Cooper Tires. Despite posting only the fourth fastest time in practice, DeFrancesco turned his two fastest laps of the day to claim the Cooper Tires Pole Award with a two-lap average of 141.231 mph. “I’m really happy with how the car handled with only two laps to get it right,” said Petrov. The championship leaders are all together so it will be important to get a good start and get to the front.”. I just have to redeem it tomorrow and get the win for them, that’s the most important thing right now. I just have to focus on getting to the front in the early laps.”.
