2021 General Tire 125 Today at 5:00 PM ET
Ty Gibbs has some unfinished business with the ‘Monster Mile.’
A wreck ended his day last year, after he led a race-high 110 laps. Friday, the 18-year-old from Charlotte, North Carolina, returned to Dover International Speedway for ARCA Menards Series East’s General Tire 125.
He won the General Tire Pole Award with a lap of 23.168 seconds (155.387 mph) around the concrete mile track in his No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota.
It is the eighth pole award for Gibbs across the ARCA Menards, East and West series.
