Qualifying Results

Dakota Wilkins nabs his first career pole! The #77 Blazin' Pedals Racing Chevrolet narrowly beat out Dave Miller, stealing the Marlboro team from an unprecedented third-straight to begin the 2024 season. Both hope to become the ninth different winner at Homestead since 2019, overlapping the Spring-race expansion just three years ago:

2019 Fall: Rick Jackson
2020 Fall: Timothy McDonnell
2021 Spring: John Battista
2021 Fall: Tony Pizzaro
2022 Spring: Zach Michael
2022 Fall: Johnny Reed Foley
2023 Spring: John Tharp
2023 Fall: Donald Stewart

Ben Geer, Cristian Torres, Trae Larkin and Mark Heron all encompass the top-10 in points after two events in 2024. Heron will travel from Rougemont, North Carolina to run both the Bonanza and Extravaganza Series, qualifying for the big show for a third-straight week. Ben Geer is one of three drivers to record top-10 finishes in both events so far, revitalizing his career in immaculate style after the fall-out from the CFM stable three years ago. Trae Larkin led laps on speed in both events so far, capping them off with top-15 finishes in each. Cristian Torres continues to prove independent Toyota's can still get it done, quietly ahead of counterpart John Tharp as the only two factory support teams left. All four drivers will come from the back at Homestead.

The top-3 winners of the 2023 season have not led a lap so far in 2024! John Battista, Ryan Heuser and Timothy McDonnell combined for 15 victories and 2,660 circuits at the front. After 400 laps of racing to start the new year, all three have zero in both categories. A 5th and 7th by Battista and McDonnell are the two lone bright spots so far, with Champion Heuser losing the lead draft at Daytona and suffering damage on a pit stop at California. All three start inside the top-11 at Homestead.
