Qualifying Results

The Championship picture looks pretty stout, with the average finish of our points leader a very moderate 14th. Nobody has had a perfect year, with the dominant drivers of the early season falling back rapidly while the top-3 in points were struggling at the time. In fact, Foley, Rick Jackson and Craig Lee were 13th, 18th and 27th in the points after five races. Quite a turnaround run, with Dave Miller and Matthew Dominique the only two consistently inside the top-10 all season. Jackson will start on the pole in hopes of his eighth-straight top-7 finish and 40+ points gained on Foley to take the lead in the standings. John Battista will be on his outside row looking for his first victory of the season. He was a top-3 favorite to win the Championship this year, and looks to go on the stretch of the century after a disappointing first-half of 2022.

Ryan Heuser looks for four victories in-a-row for the first time since he himself performed the same feat back in 2011. Then he won at Dover, Charlotte, Kansas and Pocono. He will come back to the Pennsylvania grasslands in an attempt to perform the same feat 11 years later. Rick Jackson's seven straight top-10 finishes are impressive as well, but lost in the headlines to the Heuser domination. Normally drivers with these achievements are well within the running of the drivers Championship. Due to his multiple DNF's and missed races, it only adds an abstract storyline for the ages apart from the close Championship race. He still has a chance to clinch the chase, and a fourth-straight victory will propel his chances. Heuser will start 12th.
