Taylor Gray secured his first career NASCAR Xfinity Series pole with a blistering lap at 163.32 mph during Saturday’s qualifying session at Homestead-Miami Speedway. The pole also marks his first in any NASCAR national series, having gone without one in 56 Craftsman Truck Series starts since 2021.
Gray will lead the field to the green alongside Connor Zilisch, the fastest qualifier from JR Motorsports. Nick Sanchez equaled his career-best effort, qualifying third, followed by last week’s winner, Justin Allgaier, in fourth. Christian Eckes rounds out the top five.
Positions six through ten belong to Sam Mayer, Justin Bonsignore, Ryan Sieg, Sheldon Creed, and Matt DiBenedetto.
With 39 drivers vying for 38 spots, Dawson Cram was the lone competitor who failed to qualify.
