David Gilliland Wins Daytona Truck Series Pole
David Gilliland won the pole for Friday night's season-opening NextEra Energy 250 NASCAR Camping Truck Series race for his first-career truck series pole.
Wheeling a Kyle Busch-owned Toyota Tundra normally driven by his son, Todd, Gilliland clocked in at 183.61 mph to secure the pole in just his 11th-career truck series start.
Gilliland drove in this same race back in 2015, finishing 6th. Todd Gilliland is signed to drive the truck but is only 17 years old and not eligible to drive on superspeedway tracks until he turns 18 in May.
Johnny Sauter qualified second, followed by Clay Greenfield, Dalton Sargeant and Noah Gragson.
Bobby Gerhart, Josh Reaume, Cody Ware and B.J. McLeod ailed to qualify for the event.
