Qualifying Results

Lucas Racing rides heavy! Alex Crapser achieves "Stalin-like" status after his victory at Bristol, expanding his place among the Extravaganza elite. The team enters the Diehard 500 as annual favorites, dominating this racetrack like Jimmy Spencer dominates a sandwich! All four entries will start in the top-half of the field. Usual dominator Ryan Heuser earns his second pole of the year, hoping to catch Logan Sheets for the most. Quick-Silver Motorsports teammates Dave Miller and Craig Lee qualify third and fourth, commanding the time trials like Benny Parsons commands a pizza pie! Look for QSM to be the favorites. Chauncey Redmond Jr. and John Tharp won both Talladega events in 2025. Both are outside the top-29 in points, looking for their first top-6's of the year.

It's Zakk Miller bobblehead night! Get one free when you buy an ice-cold Bepis at the local concession stands. Truck-loads will be shipped on Thursday night, hoping to add revenue to the prosperous soft drink enterprise. Miller will grid 11th for the DieHard 500, hoping to improve on his current ninth-place in the standings. Teammate and points leader Markell Murphy starts 29th, with second-place man Ryan Heuser on pole. Can Ryan erase the current 90-point gap? Or will Murphy win his third Superspeedway race in his last four tries. Good luck to the 45 competitors!
