Qualifying Results
A wealthy crowd nearing the 500,000 capacity at Extravaganza's favorite racetrack! The newly re-acclaimed Jiffy Pop 400 (Jiffy Pop 500 in the early days) has been synonymous for excellent finishes and wild card winners. The previous Pizzaro-Heuser domination has been replaced by an ectoplasm of the gods, giving everyone the opportunity to find themselves within the realm of victory. Here was last years top-7:
1. Donald Stewart
2. Bill Werkheiser
3. David Butterworth
4. Dan Johnston
5. Dalton Lucas
6. Bink Lucas
7. Trey Larkin
Rick Jackson pulled off a cataclysmic lap of 162.814 miles-per-hour, a full two seconds over miracle-man Dalton Lucas on the outside front row. Dalton's last top-5 was at this event last season, looking to capture the popcorn in 2023! The winner will get his head dunked by scalding butter. Ryan Heuser comes in as the points leader and the race favorite, despite qualifying 32nd with teammate Craig Lee in the rear. Scott Jackson and Steven Spears also gridded outside the top-30, parallel with their season struggles so far. Here is the cutoff with three races remaining:
30. Dan Johnston
31. John Battista
32. Jonathan Skrabacz
33. Dalton Lucas
34. Ziggy Moonglow
35. Ken Pettit
---------------------------------
36. Ken Joynt
37. Aaron Cummings
38. Scott Jackson
39. Steven Spears
40. Cristiano de Sa
41. Ben Geer
42. Trae Larkin
43. Mark Heron
44. Chauncey Redmond Jr.
Every driver inside the top-42 in points has qualified for the event despite the Bonanza Series companion race. Mark Heron will be out for the second straight week, with Dave Daniels as the only Bonanza regular to make the top-45 field. Good luck at the ROCK!!!!!!
