NASCAR Cup title contender Chase Briscoe secured pole position in qualifying on Saturday, edging out Austin Hill by 0.032 seconds, with a lap time of 51.466s. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver claimed the top spot, beating Hill's Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet. Trackhouse secured the second row with Connor Zilisch in third and Shane van Gisbergen in fourth.
Chris Buescher led the way for Ford in fifth, while the top ten consisted of Christopher Bell, Alex Bowman, Ty Gibbs, Denny Hamlin, and championship leader Kyle Larson. Briscoe expressed his excitement about securing the pole, acknowledging that it had been a while since he achieved such a result. He emphasized the importance of teamwork and the challenges of competing within the same organization.
As the race approaches, Briscoe's Toyota teammate's actions will be crucial in keeping points away from competitors. Four Toyotas, five Chevrolets, and Buescher were the lone Ford in the pole round. No incidents occurred during qualifying, and all 40 entries made a lap.
