Hendrick Motorsports swept the front row in qualifying today at Kansas Speedway, with William Byron earning his second pole of the season, and the 10th of his Cup career. Byron edged out teammate Kyle Larson for the top spot by 0.006 seconds in the final round of qualifying.
Byron tagged the wall earlier in practice, but prevailed in qualifying. "We struggled a little bit off the truck but the guys brought a great car here. I hit the wall like a dummy, so I got that mistake out of the way and then got some solid practice. I enjoy coming to Kansas. It’s a fun race track. It’s going to be really challenging tomorrow, running against the fence. That’s going to be the dominant groove. Right now, we’re going to enjoy the 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 rounded out the top ten, making it a strong Saturday for Trackhouse Racing and Team Penske.
Reddick will be aiming for history in the race tomorrow. If he can take the checkered flag, it would be the first time in NASCAR history that a car won three consecutive races at a track with three different drivers. Kurt Busch won this 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. Just missing out on the final round of qualifying were Austin Dillon, Christopher Bell, and Kevin Harvick. The Stewart Haas Racing driver is not the only former champion with some work to do on Sunday, as Kyle Busch (16th), Brad Keselowski (20th), and Chase Elliott (21st) will be starting further back.
