IMSA Indianapolis: Campbell scores pole in Porsche lockout

The perfect weekend for Porsche and Matt Campbell remains in the cards after he rocketed to overall pole in the IMSA SportsCar Championship at Indianapolis Road Course.

The 28-year-old Aussie threw the gauntlet with a flying lap of 1m13.672s on the 14-turn, 2.439-mile circuit to claim bragging rights at team owner Roger Penske’s track in the #7 Porsche 963.

It marks the second pole of the year for Campbell.

It became a front-row lockout for Porsche Penske Motorsports after Mathieu Jaminet came across the line 0.152s off his team-mate.

Jaminet was briefly bumped from second by Meyer Shank Racing’s Tom Blomqvist before returning the favor in the final minutes and knocking the #60 Acura ARX-06 to third.

Sebastien Bourdais came away fourth in Chip Ganassi Racing's #01 Cadillac V-Series.R, followed by points leader Ricky Taylor, who overcame an early Turn 2 spin to put the #10 Wayne Taylor Racing with Andretti Autosport entry fifth.
