Sixteen-year-old Tristan McKee made history in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series by capturing the pole position at Martinsville Speedway, becoming the youngest driver to achieve the feat in the series' history.

McKee's record-breaking qualifying lap came during the session for the Truck Series race at the half-mile Virginia oval. The teenager, who previously competed in the ARCA Menards Series West, edged out veteran competitors to secure the top starting spot.

The achievement marks a significant milestone for McKee, whose recent experience includes a start at Phoenix Raceway in the ARCA West Series in November 2025.
