Pedro Egurrola and Will Woodfin topped COJO Open qualifying with 10.34 seconds on two head. That gives them the last run of Saturday’s short round at the Cadence Bank Center in Belton, Texas.
Sixty teams start over at zero in the clean-slate three-header: the top 50 Open qualifiers plus the top two #16.5 incentive teams from each of five rotations. Teams rope from slowest to fastest qualifier starting at 2 p.m. Saturday. The champions win Bill Fick Ford F-350s and Bloomer trailers.
Kaleb Driggers qualified second with Nicky Northcott at 10.51, and he has another team in the top 10 with Junior Nogueira, 10th at 11.18. Driggers won the 2025 COJO Open with Jade Corkill.
Dustin Egusquiza and JC Flake were third at 10.75, the last of three teams under 11 seconds. Nogueira also called back sixth with Tanner Tomlinson at 11.04.
Andrew Ward and Jake Long, who won the inaugural COJO Open in 2024, are both back on separate teams. Long is 26th with Tyler Tryan at 11.68, and Ward is 29th with Logan Medlin at 11.78.
