April 1, 2023 4:33 pm

A pair of NASCAR Ford F-150 race trucks were fairly quick during qualifying at Texas Motor Speedway on Saturday, April 1^st, 2023. While they weren’t fast enough to secure the first row, one will take the green flag from Row 2 when the race starts.

Ty Majeski will show the way for the Blue Oval teams in his No. 98 F-150, having secured the third-best starting spot with a time of 29.216 seconds at 184.83 mph. By comparison, polesitter Nick Sanchez made a lap of 29.109 seconds at 185.51 mph in his No. 2 Chevy Silverado RST, followed by the No. 51 Silverado of Jack Wood with a time of 29.204 at 184.906 mph.

Starting behind Majeski’s No. 98 F-150 will be the No. 11 Toyota Tundra of Corey Heim in fourth, with the No. 42 Chevy of Carson Hocevar in fifth place. The next-best NASCAR Ford driver will be the No. 99 F-150 of Ben Rhodes, who will take the green flag from 10^th.

The green flag will drop at Texas on Saturday, April 1^st, 2023 at 4:30 p.m. ET. It’s worth noting that the Truck Series is the only NASCAR division racing at Texas this weekend, as the Xfinity and Cup Series are both at Richmond Raceway this weekend.
