Emilio Aguayo Muñoz

Emilio qualifies via AVG: 54:47 — the fastest average qualifier time on your list — and that tells you he’s not here to “hang on.” He’s here to race at the pointy end. That time suggests serious run strength and the engine to keep stations honest.

Phoenix storyline: prove it on the Major stage. Big times are one thing; doing it with cameras, pressure, and the best in the world is another. Emilio’s opportunity is simple: race like he belongs early, then stay clean when the heavy stations start shaking people out. If he can keep sleds under control, he can absolutely turn Phoenix into a breakthrough weekend — because the speed is clearly there.
