Hendrick Motorsports swept the front row of qualifying today at Kansas Speedway, with William Byron taking his second pole of the season and 10th of his Cup career. Byron edged teammate Kyle Larson for first place by 0.006 seconds in the final qualifying round.
Byron scored the wall earlier in practice but prevailed in qualifying. “We had a bit of trouble getting off the truck but the guys brought a great car here. I hit the wall like a dummy so I cleared that mistake and then had a good practice. “I love coming to Kansas. It’s a fun race track. It’s going to be really tough tomorrow, running against the fence. It’s going to be the dominant pace. Right now we’re going to take advantage of pole.”
Current points leader Ross Chastain and last week’s winner Martin Truex Jr will start from row 2 tomorrow. Row 3 features Tyler Reddick and Joey Logano, with Joe Gibbs Racing drivers Ty Gibbs and Denny Hamlin lining up in Row 4. Daniel Suarez and Ryan Blaney round out the top ten, making it a strong Saturday for Trackhouse Racing and Team Think.
Reddick will be aiming for history in tomorrow’s race. If he can pass the checkered flag, it would be the first time in NASCAR history that a car has won three consecutive races at a track with three different drivers. Kurt Busch won that race last year and Bubba Wallace drove the No. 45 to victory lane in the fall after Busch suffered his concussion.
Wallace was the slowest of the Toyota cars in qualifying and will start 17th. Austin Dillon, Christopher Bell and Kevin Harvick narrowly missed out on the final qualifying round. The Stewart Haas Racing driver is not the only former champion with work to do on Sunday, as Kyle Busch (16th), Brad Keselowski (20th) and Chase Elliott (21st) will start further afield.
