Tyler Scott upstaged his rivals to claim a hugely impressive pole position for the 2024 Daytona 200 despite persevering with lapping on his own during the all-important Time Attack around the Daytona Motor Speedway.
The Vision Wheel M4 Ecstar Suzuki rider ignored the usual tactics that would see his rivals in the 12-rider shootout for pole position group together in an effort to slipstream one another to a faster time to wind up his momentum to an eventual timesheet topping lap of 1m 48.047secs.

Richie Escalante put his stamp on the early running for the 2024 Daytona 200 as he took a clear provisional pole position in a Suzuki 1-2-3 in first qualifying, while Richard Cooper landed well inside the top ten.
The Mexican rider was the force of the day, topping both FP1 and Q1 aboard his Vision Wheel M4 Ecstar Suzuki GSX-R750, leading fellow team-mate Tyler Scott and Vesrah Racing’s Hayden Gillim.
Though the riders will need to go through another Q2 session to book their place in the pole-deciding Time Attack later today, Escalante looks in strong form as the only rider to dip into the 1m ..read more
