Majeski, who set a fast time of 18.683 seconds, agreed in pre-race ceremonies to take the challenge that will pay a minimum of $10,000 if Majeski starts from the tail of the field and wins the 200-lap season finale.
Current ASA Midwest Tour point leader Gabe Sommers qualified second and has put himself in a good spot to claim his first ASAMT title on on Sunday.
Dalton Zehr was third in qualifying with Dillon Hammond in fourth. Defending Oktoberfest 200 winner Andrew Morrissey rounded out the top five.
On Saturday night, the ASAMT Stars & Cars had their dashes and qualifier race.
