Ben Rhodes rocketed to his first pole position of the 2026 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season, and the seventh pole of his career, as he’ll lead the field to green in Friday night’s SpeedyCash.com 250 at Texas Motor Speedway.
Rhodes led the way in what amounted to a front row sweep for the ThorSport Racing team, as Jake Garcia will start on the outside of the front row.
Gio Ruggiero, Cole Butcher, and Tanner Gray rounded out the top-five qualifiers for Friday night’s race at Texas.
