Qualifying Results

Since 2021, there have been nine races at Daytona and Talladega. Lucas Racing has won six of them. Two of them were first time winners. They haven't dominated Daytona as much, but they are easily in the hunt with the dominant speed they showed at both plate-races so far. Their qualifying program was below par, with Zach Michael and Timothy McDonnell starting on the front row. McDonnell gained the points lead after Nashville for the first time since 2021. He, John Tharp and Dan Johnston hope to continue their DNF-less streak for the season. Zach Michael earned his first pole of the year, lookin to cap it off with his first 2023 victory. He comes in 6th in the standings with consistent runs inside the top-half of the field. Look for the trend to continue on Friday night. Rick Jackson, McDonnell and Ryan Heuser will be among the favorite to win over the Lucas Racing brigade. Heuser comes in only 14 points back of the #22. Both are in excellent shape to make th chase, which is ten races away.
