Tyler Reddick\u2019s bid to win his way into the next round of the NASCAR Cup playoffs is off to the best start possible.
Reddick, one of the four drivers lowest in points without a win heading into the final race of the Round of 16, went out early in the 10-minute final round of qualifying and went right to the top of the speed chart. Reddick’s average lap speed of 102.839 mph was enough to hold off Christopher Bell to claim the pole in Sunday’s race on the Charlotte Roval. The pole is the second this season for Reddick, sixth of his career and third on a road course.
Two drivers failed to record a speed in the final round. During his qualifying attempt in the last minute of the final round, Denny Hamlin spun around going through the backstretch chicane and stalled on the track. He will be credited with a ninth-place start. Because Ty Gibbs waited to go out and was on the track at the same time Hamlin spun, he lost his chance to complete a qualifying lap. He will line up 10th.
