Tyler Reddick claimed the pole position for the Straight Talk Wireless 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway, completing the NASCAR Cup Series sweep of Saturday activity. Reddick’s pole-winning lap was 167.452 mph in the final round of qualifying, marking his ninth career pole in the Cup Series and his first at Homestead-Miami. Going into Sunday’s race, Reddick sits outside of a transfer spot into the championship race, with a 30-point deficit after a DNF in the Round of 8 opener at Las Vegas. Kyle Larson qualified second, Christopher Bell third, and Denny Hamlin fourth, setting the stage for an exciting race day. Other playoff drivers like Chase Elliott, Ryan Blaney, William Byron, and Joey Logano face challenges starting outside the top 10, adding intrigue to the upcoming event at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
