Luke Fenhaus wins first-career NASCAR pole at Michigan, full Truck Series qualifying results

Prior to today’s qualifying session, Luke Fenhaus hadn’t qualified any better than 12th in the Truck Series. That was earlier this season at Rockingham. Fenhaus is making his 12th career start and is clearly learning quickly. A short track racer, his best finish came at IRP a year ago, P7. His season-best in 2025 is P14 from Atlanta.

Tricon Garage struggled in qualifying. Corey Heim was the best of the five-truck group and qualified P7. Heim was a late entry to the ARCA race yesterday and finished P2 to Butterbean Queen. He’s hoping to continue his dominant Truck Series season with another win today.

Luke Fenhaus gets the best of talented field in qualifying

There are certain tracks where qualifying doesn’t give you a great idea about how the race is going to play out. Michigan is one of those tracks. While it isn’t a drafting track, there are many teams that kind of treat it like one. There are teams that want a solid qualifying trim and then there are those who set up trucks and cars to be fast in the race.

There will be drafting, trucks will tow others along throughout the afternoon. If you are watching Cup Series practice on Prime Video you will see some of that drafting and picking up speed as drivers come up on the back of other cars.

Luke Fenhaus has a great opportunity today. He might have one of those trucks that carries over the qualifying speed to the race. Or maybe not. But with a strong starting position, anything can happen. He will have clean air in front of him and at least for a little while, will be able to pick and choose which lane he wants to take as the field tries to catch up.
