Jake Garcia has once again demonstrated his speed by achieving the pole position for the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Rockingham, marked by a brief delay due to rain.
A total of 38 trucks competed for 36 spots on the grid, with the withdrawals of Jonathan Shafer, who suffered an accident during practice, and Justin Carroll, who did not manage to qualify.
Garcia, behind the wheel of the number 98 Ford from ThorSport Racing, has secured his fifth pole in his career, after already winning this same race last year. In 2025, he achieved a notable second place as his best result.
Driver Tanner Gray, with the number 15 Toyota from TRICON, will join Garcia on the front row. Rounding out the top five are Kaden Honeycutt, Cole Butcher, and Layne Riggs. Ty Majeski, Corey Heim, Parker Eatmon, Landen Lewis, and Gio Ruggiero will complete the top 10.
Brenden Queen was the best RAM driver, finishing in 11th position, while NASCAR Cup drivers Carson Hocevar and Ty Dillon will start in 16th and 28th position, respectively.
