Ty Majeski sealed the pole position for the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series’ DQS Solutions & Staffing 250 at Michigan International Speedway on Saturday, June 6.
The event’s starting lineup was determined through an on-track qualifying session that consisted of a single-truck, single-lap qualifying format. During the session, each of the competitors vying for starting spots cycled around Michigan International Speedway once to post the fastest lap amongst one another. The competitor who posted the single fastest lap was awarded the pole position.
In Saturday’s qualifying session, Majeski, who was the 14th-fastest competitor during Saturday morning’s practice session, posted his fastest qualifying lap at 183.407 mph in 39.257 seconds. Majeski’s lap was enough for the 2024 Truck Series champion from Seymour, Wisconsin, to claim the top-starting spot for Saturday afternoon’s main event at the Irish Hills in Brooklyn, Michigan.
With the pole, Majeski achieved his 13th Truck Series career pole, his second of the 2026 season, his first since this year’s season-opening event at Daytona International Speedway and his second driving the No. 88 Menards Ford F-150 entry for ThorSport Racing. Having notched a pair of 15th-place results in two Truck starts at Michigan, Majeski will strive to contend for his first victory of the 2026 season.
Majeski will share the front row with Christopher Bell, the latter of whom is making his fourth Truck start in the No. 62 Halmar Friesen Racing Toyota Tundra TRD Pro entry and is pulling double-duty roles alongside his No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota Camry XSE entry in the Cup Series division. Bell posted his fastest lap at 183.057 mph in 39.332 seconds.
Chandler Smith, teammate Layne Riggs (winner of the two recent Truck events at Charlotte Motor Speedway and Nashville Superspeedway) and Connor Mosack will start in the top five, respectively. Carson Hocevar, Cole Butcher, Giovanni Ruggiero (fastest in Saturday’s practice), Jake Garcia and Spencer Davis completed the top-10 starting grid, respectively.
Notably, Stewart Friesen, Ross Chastain, Kaden Honeycutt, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Corey Heim, Parker Kligerman, Cleetus McFarland, Mini Tyrrell, Frankie Muniz and Ben Rhodes will start 12th, 15th, 17th, 19th, 23rd, 25th, 29th, 30th, 31st and 35th, respectively. In addition, Tanner Gray was the lone competitor who did not post a qualifying time after his entry sustained a flat tire during practice. As a result, Gray’s entry was towed from the track and he will take the green flag at the tail end of the field in 36th.
With 36 competitors vying for 36 starting spots, all made the main event.
