Ross Chastain claimed the second spot in the starting lineup for Sunday’s Cup race at Kansas Speedway, just behind Christopher Bell who secured the pole position. This is Bell’s first pole of the season for Joe Gibbs Racing. Noah Gragson achieved a career-best third starting position, while Kyle Larson will start fourth and Kyle Busch will start fifth.
Larson has consistently shown strong performances this season with his sixth top-five starting spot in 12 events. Busch has also been performing well, securing a pole position at Dover last week and coming in fourth at Talladega the week before that. However, William Byron, who has three wins this season, will start in a season-worst 36th position after hitting the wall during his qualifying run.
The highly anticipated race is set to begin at 3:13 p.m. ET on FS1, where fans will see the top drivers battle it out on the track for victory.
