Ty Majeski claims first pole in Menards Dayglow and season at Daytona
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Ty Majeski claimed his first pole in the Menards Dayglow scheme and of the 2026 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season at Daytona.
This run marked his third Truck Series pole at the track and ThorSport Racing’s fifth Daytona pole in the last six events.
44 trucks qualified for 36 spots with NASCAR permitting up to four additional OEM spots for RAM.
RAM used one of the allotted four OEM provisional for the RAM Race for the Seat winner Timothy “Mini” Tyrell to expand the field to 37 total trucks.
Tony Stewart led a RAM bunch who hope to find more speed during the race on the timing sheet in the session in 15th.
Spire Motorsports will have both of their all-star entrants up front as Michael McDowell searches for his first Truck Series win in the event.
Tricon Garage had all four of their full-time drivers qualify in the top ten while Truck Series Chase favorites Daniel Hemric and Layne Riggs have ground to make up as they start towards the rear of the field.
