Nashville Superspeedway was the site of Ryan Preece‘s first Truck Series win last summer, and it is now the site of his first Truck Series pole. With a speed of 160.925 mph, Preece topped the charts in Friday’s (June 24) qualifying session.

Preece will be joined on the front row by Zane Smith, who tied his career-best effort in qualifying. Carson Hocevar clocked in third; he has now started in the top three for the last three races.

Corey Heim was the highest qualifying Toyota in fourth and Derek Kraus was the fastest qualifier of eligible drivers below the playoff cutline in fifth.

Chandler Smith led the most laps at Nashville last year, and he will roll off sixth for tonight. Grant Enfinger and Matt DiBenedetto will make up row four in seventh and eighth while Stewart Friesen clocked in ninth after being fastest in practice earlier today. Jack Wood completed the top 10 with his best start of the 2022 season.

Qualifying had one incident, as Tate Fogelman spun out and was unable to complete a lap in his qualifying effort.

With 42 entries and 36 starting spots, six drivers failed to make the show. Those six are Fogelman, Clay Greenfield, Chase Janes, Jennifer Jo Cobb, Justin Carroll and Bret Holmes.

The Rackley Roofing 200 will take place on Friday, June 24 at 8:00 p.m. ET, with TV coverage provided by FOX Sports 1.
