John Moore secured pole position for the Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli Western Championship opener at Buttonwillow Raceway Park, setting a fastest lap of 1m40.347s in his No. 27 JM Environmental Ford Mustang. Ken Sutherland qualified second in his No. 85 Kallberg Racing Dodge Challenger.

Moore, making his Buttonwillow debut, praised the historic track and emphasized the importance of tire management for the upcoming race. "I've got to take care of the tires. I've been on pole before and didn't win, so I'm still learning about these race cars," Moore stated.
