JADE AVEDISIAN Claims ARCA West Pole at Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway

February 28, 2026

• JADE AVEDISIAN delivered when it mattered, clocking an 18.686-second lap to claim pole position at Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway for the ARCA West season opener. At just 19 years old and making only her fourth ARCA-sanctioned start, she outpaced two-time West champion Sean Hingorani by a razor-thin one hundredth of a second.
• The margin tells the whole story – AVEDISIAN didn’t just luck into this pole, she earned it against serious competition. Hingorani’s pedigree as a two-time champion makes this an even sweeter victory for the teenager, proving she belongs at the front of the field regardless of her limited experience in ARCA competition.
• Tonight’s Oil Workers 150 at 8 p.m. ET on FloRacing gives AVEDISIAN the perfect stage to show what starting up front can do for a young driver’s confidence. We’ve seen how pole positions can be career-defining moments – now let’s see if she can convert this qualifying performance into a breakthrough race result.
