With Corey Heim sidelined for Saturday’s NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series event at WWT Raceway due to illness, Ty Majeski has a prime opportunity to take over the regular-season points lead.

Majeski is taking advantage of that opportunity, scoring the pole for Saturday’s Toyota 200 at the 1.25-mile facility, putting his No. 98 Road Ranger Ford F-150 at the top of the speed charts in qualifying.

Posting a time of 32.569 seconds (138.168mph), Majeski earned the top spot by one-tenth of a second over ThorSport Racing teammate Ben Rhodes, who won at Charlotte Motor Speedway, starting alongside him on the front row.

Christian Eckes will start the race from third place, with Carson Hocevar and Stewart Friesen completing the top-five starters for Saturday’s 200-mile contest. Zane Smith, Jake Garcia, Chase Purdy, Nick Sanchez, and Grant Enfinger finished in the top-10.
