Ty Majeski Grabs Pole Position at Daytona Truck Series, Florida, driving for ThorSport Racing, has secured the pole position for the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series event at Daytona International Speedway, marking his sixth career pole in the series. This also marks the first pole for Ford Performance at the 2.5-mile superspeedway since 2010.
Majeski, hailing from Seymour, Wisconsin, dominated the second round of single-vehicle qualifying, topping the speed charts with a blazing time of 50.345 seconds (176.767mph). He narrowly edged out former champion Johnny Sauter for the coveted pole position.
Sauter, a seasoned veteran in the NASCAR Truck Series, will line up alongside Majeski on the front row for the 250-mile race on Friday. The 45-year-old driver showed promising form during practice sessions, setting himself up as a strong contender for the season opener.
Also notable in the starting lineup is Corey LaJoie, making a one-time appearance for Spire Motorsports in the Truck Series, starting from third place. Meanwhile, Matt Mills and Tyler Ankrum round out the top five with their new rides for the season.
Among other notables in the field are last season’s pole winner Nick Sanchez, Daniel Dye, Tanner Gray, and Thad Moffitt. However, with 40 entries for the event, four drivers, including Mason Maggio, Jennifer Jo Cobb, Ryan Huff, and Clay Greenfield, will unfortunately miss out on the action.
