On Sunday, the starting lineup for the race at Dover Motor Speedway will feature a Toyota driver leading the charge, as Tyler Reddick was the fastest during Saturday’s qualifying session at the 1-mile banked concrete track. He was one of two Toyota drivers to make it to the final round of qualifying, alongside Denny Hamlin.
Ryan Blaney and Noah Gragson were the fastest Ford drivers in qualifying, coming in second and third respectively. Chase Briscoe and Michael McDowell also made it to the second round of qualifying in their Fords. Unfortunately, Erik Jones will miss Sunday’s race after suffering a compression fracture in a lower vertebra last week at Talladega.
Martin Truex Jr., last season’s winner at Dover, qualified in 15th place. Jimmie Johnson, an eleven-time winner at Dover, had the fifth-fastest time during practice but qualified in 27th place. The race at Dover will start at 2:11 p.m. with coverage on FS1, starting with NASCAR RaceDay at 1 p.m.
