Qualifying Results

Molemar Diggs earns his first career pole! He, Adam Crapser, Zakk Miller and John Tharp all suffered woes during the Daytona 500, hoping to re-capitalize on their 2025 success. Ryan Heuser goes 2-for-2 in front-row starting spots, with 2025 dominator Zakk Miller outside the top-30 for a second-straight week. 46 cars will make the show, with Scott Jackson making his season debut in the #38. Gateway winner Tony Gunk will bring back the "Kelpo Cam", with Ronaldo Scott, Larry Sheldrake and Nigel Ramasawmy also making the show. Rookie of the Year favorite Dong Sup Park finished dead-last during the qualifying heat, exiting the car with three steering wheels in the cockpit. "He was changing them out during the race" said crew chief Lester Bryant. "One was triangular shaped. It looked like a clothes hanger without the hook." Expect the #66 Reese's Cup Petizione Chevrolet to improve with proper patience.

Complains about last weeks broadcast were brought to the attention of all! "Steven Spock sounded like Lucifer" said Extravaganza Superfan Chuck Barone. Fortunately, his laryngitis has subsided, caused by singing "Happiness is a Warm Gun" in a local Beatles musical. Pit reporter Dale Rosendaul dropped his microphone into a cooler, electrocuting the Heineken inside. We even missed Markell Murphy's "Cripple Creek Shuffle" in victory lane. Fortunately, the race was saved by a record crowd of 427,000 including musician Wicked Enos and Hollywood stuntman Bismol Skaggs. They witnessed the fastest race in Extravaganza Series history, with Markell Murphy breaking his own record at 209.571 miles-per-hour. Expect more of the same speeds for the Cracker Barrel 500!
