No. 00 NASCAR Ford Starting On Pole For Xfinity Spring 2023 Phoenix Race

The No. 00 Ford Mustang, driven by Cole Custer in the Xfinity Series, will take the green flag from the pole position for Saturday’s race at Phoenix Raceway.

Custer guided the No. 00 Mustang around the one-mile oval track in 27.701 seconds at 129.959 mph. He bested the No. 7 Chevy Camaro of Justin Allgaier, who will start second, thanks to a 27.755-second lap at 129.706 mph. Third place will be the No. 11 Camaro of Daniel Hemric, while fourth will be the No. 20 Toyota Supra of John Hunter Nemechek, and the top five will be rounded out by the No. 5 Camaro of Sheldon Creed.

Two other NASCAR Ford teams will start within the top 10: Ryan Sieg’s No. 39 Mustang in ninth, while Riley Herbst will start the No. 98 Mustang in 10th.

As a reminder, polesitter Custer recently returned to the Xfinity Series after a short stint at the Cup Series level in the No. 41 Ford Mustang. Ryan Preece took over the No. 41 Mustang while Custer elected to gain more experience in the Xfinity series.

The green flag is scheduled to drop at Phoenix Raceway on Saturday, March 11th, 2023 at 4:30 p.m. ET.
