Qualifying Results
Matthew Dominique wins the pole! He, Ryan Heuser and Rick Jackson eclipsed the 213 mile-per-hour barrier, deeming themselves the "grand wizards" of Superspeedway time trials. This breaks the record of 14 different pole-sitters before the halfway mark, with Heuser and Dave Miller currently with two. The biggest challenge will be for John Tharp, Zakk Miller and Craig Lee; each eclipsing 5,000 laps completed last week at Nashville. A early-race shunt could set them back in that category, with Lee in danger of losing his top-10 status. They will all be lucky to defeat Lucas Racing's superior restrictor plate package! Here are their recent victories:

2021 Fall (Talladega): Bink Lucas

Year three of the NEXUS network is in full swing! Dale Rosendaul's pit reporting in 2023 won himself an ESPY award, showcasing the trophy next to his 38-year-old unopened pack of SKOAL. "It's my prize possession" said Rosendaul "I wanted taste it 20 years ago, but my wife Dolores said no." The first race is the Coke Zero 400, with an earlier starting time than the previous 17 races. Look for Steven Spock to dominate the booth, hoping to eclipse "Pinecone Council" as the top-rated show on the channel. Randy Orb will continue his jiffy pop and fresca adventures, and Capers is ready for season five of the acclaimed "Caper's Cafe"! Cheers for another fantastic second-half!
