Qualifying Results
Ryan Heuser re-takes the points lead for the first time since Indianapolis. He went on a tear of three-straight top-3 finishes, reminiscent of his run at Bristol, Martinsville and Talladega to re-gain control of his Championship hopes. He is now at the top with two races left. Ken Pettit's advantage was nibbled away after a minor accident and Charlotte. Last week was the downfall, but his 70 laps led proves they still have the horsepower to re-gain their stride. If both drivers succumb to the desert heat, John Battista could steal the Championship away.
Bink Lucas continues to rack up the stat-sheet with his first pole of the season. He becomes the 19th different driver to lock himself into the Bud Shootout in 2024, hoping to capitalize the effort with his first victory in 2023. Bink and the Lifesaver's #5 average 47.4 laps led during their last five races, a dominant streak unlike any we've seen from the team. This could be it.
