Noaker Penalized, McLeod Takes Pole for Mustang Challenge Le Mans Invitational
In a significant development ahead of the Mustang Challenge Le Mans Invitational, Robert Noaker has been relegated to the back of the grid for both races due to a post-qualifying technical infraction. This decision shifts Cameron McLeod and Sam Paley into the top starting positions for Race 1 and Race 2, respectively.
Noaker, who had been on track to start in pole position for both races following dominant performances in practice and qualifying, faced penalties after his #13 Robert Noaker Racing Mustang Dark Horse R was found non-compliant with the series’ technical regulations, specifically Article 7.4.5 regarding splitter ride height minimums. As a result, all of Noaker’s qualifying times were disqualified.
Race 1 will stream live tomorrow via the official Ford Performance YouTube channel, providing fans with a chance to see McLeod lead the grid in a fiercely competitive field.
Key Information:
- Pole Position: Cameron McLeod (Race 1 & 2).
- Notable Infraction: Noaker’s Mustang non-compliant with splitter ride height rules.
- Live Coverage: Race 1 available for free on the Ford Performance YouTube channel.
The implications of this penalty could significantly impact Noaker’s title defense as the series progresses.
