Layne Riggs wasn’t even in attendance when the first qualifying session took place for the originally scheduled Rodney Cook Classic was rained out on October 7th. He didn’t let that slow him down on way to securing the pole award for the event today.

During Piedmont Racing Expo & Auction Qualifying Riggs put his PRW Chassis on the pole with a lap of 15.727 in the second group of qualifiers. He bested provisional pole sitter from the first group Kyle Dudley who turned a 15.811. Dudley had posted the third fastest time back on October 7th before the rains came and improved that starting position moving to second for today’s 140-lap race.

Dennis Holdren posted the third fastest time behind Riggs and Dudley with Blake Stallings rebounding from a broken hub during Friday’s practice to claim the fourth starting position. Jason York, Timothy Peters, Craig Moore, Thomas Beane, Justin Snow and Ross “BooBoo” Dalton completed the top ten qualifiers.

Notables outside the top ten include last weeks Fall Brawl winner at Hickory Motor Speedway Anthony Alfredo who just missed the top ten in 11th position. Richard Petty’s grandson Thad Moffitt qualified 12th, Josh Berry 13th and Dustin Rumley in his return to Late Model Stock Car racing is 15th. Stacy Puryear who qualified on the pole before the rains came on October 7th will start 16th with Ace Speedway dominator RD Smith 17th, Peyton Sellers 19th and Burt Myers in the Kyle Busch Motorsports LMSC is 20th.

Robert Powell who would have started on the outside pole the first attempt at this race back on October 7th will start the race from 26th position.

Jason Myers will start from the pole for the first of twin JHSC Modified features after posting the fastest lap time. Tim Brown will start second with Chris Fleming, George Brunnhoelzl III and Burt Myers completed the top five. John Smith, Bobby Measmer Jr., Brian Loftin, Daniel Yates and Mike Norman completed the top ten of 15 cars taking time.
