Kyle Busch secured the pole position at Dover Motor Speedway, reaching a speed of 162.191mph. This marks the first pole for Busch and the No. 8 Richard Childress Racing team this season. Busch’s last pole position was at St. Louis last season, where he went on to win the race. Despite leading the field to the green flag at Dover last season due to an elimination of qualifying, Busch is aiming for a smoother race this time around. Ryan Blaney will start alongside Busch on the front row, with a strong showing in practice. William Byron, Tyler Reddick, and Noah Gragson round out the top five qualifiers, with Martin Truex Jr. starting 15th and Corey Heim making his Cup Series debut from the 32nd position. Christopher Bell encountered troubles during qualifying but his Joe Gibbs Racing team is working on repairs for the main race.
