Qualifying Results

Ryan Heuser sits atop the points standings for the first time in seemingly ages. This time last year he was sitting out after a crash at Homestead, watching Trae Larkin drive his car with moderate success. He will start 44th tonight after a devastating turn-1 flip in qualifying. Up front, Scott Jackson wins the pole with a 196.693 mile-per-hour lap! This is the boost he needed to turn his season around, qualifying 30th or worse in three of the first five events and failing to record a top-5 so far. Third-in-points Donald Stewart will start on the outside front row, looking to continue his hot-streak of top-13's to begin the season. 45 cars and 45 starts will take the field once more at Texas! Here is the race for the top-35 in points:

26. Ziggy Moonglow: +60
27. Matt Raboin: +58
28. Chauncey Redmond Jr.: +53
29. Scott Jackson: +44
30. Michael Henson: +36
31. Jonathan Skrabacz: +34
32. William Perry: +22
33. Rob Scarberry: +10
34. Dakota Wilkins: +9
35. Dan Johnston: -

36. Dalton Lucas: -
37. David Butterworth: -33
38. Aaron Cummings: -35
39. Ben Geer: -36
40. Steven Spears: -47

A horrifying qualifying crash entering turn-1 sent the #138 into a frenzy for the ages. After a hard rear impact and flipping three times, Ryan Heuser walked out of his racecar with only a limp and a bruised-up right knee. He is already good to go for tonight, with icepacks galore in the pit area. Ben Geer also suffered a crash exiting turn-4, gridding 45th in the field after finishing second in the 34-lap pre-qualifier. Heuser will need to traverse through the field to maintain his points lead. Geer will need the run of his life to gain his 36-point disadvantage from the top-35.
