Rodney Howard was five one hundreds from winning the pole for the season opener two weeks ago at Greenville Pickens Speedway, only to have Chase Purdy steal it away late. Round two of qualifying was won by Howard as he picked up the pole for tonights Twin 75-lap Late Model Stock Car races.
Howard turned in a lap of 20.620 which was just a tick faster than Ryan Walker’s lap of 20.637. Walker is making his first start at Greenville Pickens this season. Dylan Hall qualified in the third position with a 20.710 which bested RD Smith’s 20.738. Smith will be making his first career start at Greenville Pickens Speedway.

Former track champion David Roberts was 11th with visiting drivers Landon Huffman and Tyler English in 12th and 13th. Last weeks Limited Late Model winner Tasha Kummer qualified 16th of the 19 cars taking time in qualifying.
