Qualifying Results

Blazin' Pedals Racing strikes again! Jeremy Hebel becomes the first 2024 rookie to win the pole, clocking at nearly 27-seconds in his first official timed-lap at the facility. He enters the Rebel 500 140 points behind Molemar Diggs, both finishing a lap down at Talladega and ending Molemar's top-7 streak. Michael Henson will start on the outside, hoping to score a top-10 finish for the struggling Shake N' Bake Racing organization. Atop the points, neither of the top-4 in the standings will start inside the top-15! Points leader Alex Crapser has been prophesied by Steven Spock to become the first "20-30" man in modern Extravaganza (20 top-5's, 30 top-10's). With 46 racecars, a top-10 at Darlington will prove the toughest.

Rattle Snake Drake won the first Rebel 400 in 1952. Scott Jackson has won a record five, including his "blow and go" victory fifteen years ago! He will start 41st, still looking for his first top-20 start for the struggling W.A.S.P. Motorsports. Teammates Bill Werkheiser and Geno Sphere both enter outside the top-35 in points, each having to qualify their way into the field. This could be Werkheiser's second-to-last attempt at the "rustic" facility, hoping to turn around his campaign and make the Southern 500 in September. A pair of 8th place finishes at Atlanta and Bristol for Scott Jackson are the only highlights of the 2024 season, with a clear horsepower advantage compared the big guns of Extravaganza. If any racetrack can break the slide, this is it.
