Andy’s Frozen Custard 340 Qualifying

---

Justin Allgaier claimed his second pole of the season, his 13th career O’Reilly Auto Parts Series pole.

Brandon Jones will start alongside him on the front row, and continued to flex his intermediate package strength.

They’ll face an immediate threat from last year’s winner Kyle Larson, who starts third with far more favorable track position than his 2025 victory, when he charged from 20th.

Connor Zilisch, the driver Larson filled in for last season, lines up fourth, giving the second row a distinct Cup Series flavor.

Brent Crews rounds out the top five, looking to improve on the career-best second-place finish he earned at Talladega a week ago.

The driver who edged him out, Corey Day, starts sixth alongside Crews in the third row. Both will compete for this week’s Dash4Cash.

Austin Hill starts seventh. This is his first top ten qualifying position at a non-superspeedway, non-road course this season.

Jeremy Clements follows in eighth, riding the momentum of his first top five since his 2022 Daytona summer victory a week ago.

Ryan Sieg qualified ninth, eyeing a breakthrough at a track where he nearly won two seasons ago, and Parker Retzlaff completes the top ten.

Sheldon Creed, the twice reigning Dash4Cash champion, starts 11th as the third eligible driver in this week’s quartet. Sammy Smith will start 15th in his bid for the $100,000 bonus.

Austin Dillon comes down from the Cup Series and will start 20th.

Two drivers failed to complete qualifying runs. Lavar Scott suffered ignition trouble and Ryan Ellis had a rear axle issue. Thankfully for them, all 38 entrants secured starting positions in the 38-car field.
