Chase Briscoe led A night flag for Toyota In Qualification for Daytona 500 by a pillar of nascar’s “Great American Race”. This is the first Daytona 500 pole for Briscoe, which moved to the Joe Gibbs career this season when the Stewart-Haas career closed by the end of 2024.
His way to No. 19 gave Toyota his first pole in the most important race of the NASCAR season. «A great way to start our period. Incredible way to start the year. Incredible way to start with Toyota»Briscoe said. «Being the person who gives them the first thing when they achieve so much is quite great.
Think about that I will start at the Front Row or on the ‘Great American Career’ pole With, eventually, The Great American Brand of (Sponsor) Bass Pro Shops is incredible. I can’t thank Coach Gibbs, the whole organization Joe Gibbs Racing ». Briscoe’s return of 182,745 mph He has kept many Ford applicants at Bay.
The former winner of 500 miles of Daytona Austin Cindric’s second -qualified second On a Penske team Ford, who left the pole last year with Joey Logano, who closed the year as the Nascar Cup series champion.
Ford pilots conquered four of the top five positions During the test hours, but Briscoe and Cindric, as beginners in the front row, locked on Wednesday night.
«Many fast ford“, Says Cindric. «It is very nice to start in the row in front with one of my good friends. In general, a great start of the week. I think every part of this weekend is important to have a chance to win this career on Sunday».
The only one Other -locked pilots In time trials are Toyota pilots Jimmie Johnson and Martin Truex JR., That entry is no guaranteed, but They recorded speed fast to claim two of the four “open” career areas.
The rest of the order will be established on Thursday night in a pair of qualified careers. There were nine written pilots for four free seats and Truex and Johnson took two of the time trials. Johnson is a seven -time NASCAR champion, twice won 500 miles of Daytona and a member of the Hall of Fame.
Truex is the 2017 cup champion and its first year without competing throughout the time in NASCAR. «Both Jimmie and I are beneficiaries of his effort (from Toyota) to his machines“, Says Truex. Both should be required to request a temporary “world class pilot” that guarantees entering as a 41 car with a pilot that does not compete throughout the time in Nascar and provides trade and visibility in the most important race of the season.
If Helio Castronevesfour times winning 500 miles of Indianapolis, He failed to enter the Thursday night race, he would do in the temporary square. If it took a while, the trackhouse racing would not receive any point or money from the bag, and the field would be 41 cars – the largest field since 43 cars were the standard in 2015.
Johnson said his Legacy Motor Club did not know the temporary tently until it was announced earlier this year – Although this is a new rule included in the shipment agreement signed by teams in September.
The rule demands that a team requested temporarily 90 days before the eventAnd the standard was not publicly announced until the end of the deadline for 500 miles of Daytona. «We do not know until the standard has been published. Clearly, it buried in the charter’s contract to exit“Johnson said early Wednesday.
«But when the rule came out, I didn’t remember the morning time, three minutes later, we were on the phone with the NASCAR and We recognized it was not in the 90 -day window and we were not worthy.
«We have spoken a lot to all NASCAR members and now I better understand the purpose of the standardAnd expect some changes after Daytona to define it better and clarify it. When it is read in the first instance, our reaction is not very good, but it is what it is and Hope we have a car that quickly goes in».
He did this, just under Truex’s speed, but it was enough to make sure the two former champions would run on Sunday. The pilots to run on Thursday, in search of the remaining two places, are Anthony Alfredo, Justin Allgaier, Corey Lajoie, BJ Mcleod, Chandler Smith and JJ Yeley. If Castroneves are walking, there will be only one place available.
