Fraser flies to second straight Adelaide pole

Declan Fraser is in the box seat to win the 2022 Dunlop Super2 Series title with a clean sweep of Adelaide poles.

Fraser, who took pole for Race 1 on Friday morning, motored to pole for Race 2 in the afternoon.

The Triple Eight driver was one of seven drivers to go underneath the pole-winning time for Race 1 qualifying.

Fraser’s 1:19.638s proved 0.12s quicker than Zak Best, who is the Queenslander’s closest title rival.

Best is 75 points behind Fraser, with Matt Payne 132 points down in third.

Payne was only good enough for sixth in the afternoon session.

With a season-most four poles, Fraser is the ARMOR ALL Pole Champion for the Super2 category.

The 22-year-old began Friday one behind Payne, who took three of the first poles in 2022.

Dual Friday poles took Fraser past Payne, who will rise to the main game next season.

"The car was absolutely on rails," Fraser said.

"Didn't really want to change much from that first session.

"The team did an awesome job making sure I was mentally ready... so stoked.

"Credit to everyone at Triple Eight, they've been amazing all year."

Aaron Seton led early on with a 1:20.392s, with Cameron Hill 0.06s down in second.

Fraser, as he did on Friday morning, fired in consecutive fast laps to be the benchmark.

The #777 Commodore recorded a 1:19.638s, with Best firing in a 1:19.765s to go second.

Matt Chahda — who picked up a grid penalty for Saturday’s race — qualified third.

Hill ended up fourth ahead of Thomas Maxwell, with Payne 0.56s from pole man Fraser.

Tyler Everingham, the fifth driver in title contention, qualified seventh ahead of Seton.

Jaylyn Robotham and rookie Lochie Dalton rounded out the top 10.

Earlier, Kai Allen scored his 11th straight Super3 pole ahead of title rival Brad Vaughan.

Vaughan managed to qualify second in class despite ending the session in pit lane.

The first 19-lap race of the weekend will start at 1:55pm local time on Saturday.

The season will conclude with Race 2 at 1:25pm on Sunday.
