DOVER, Del. (AP) — Kyle Busch turned a fast lap of 162.191 mph on Saturday and won the pole for the NASCAR Cup series race at Dover Motor Speedway.
Busch earned his first pole win of the season and No. 34 overall in 689 NASCAR Cup Series races. Busch is winless in the No. 8 Chevrolet for Richard Childress Racing in 10 Cup races this season.
“I would certainly love for (the pole) to be a huge one to get our season rolling and back in the right direction,” Busch said. “I feel like the last couple of weeks, the discussions at RCR have kind of been, let’s get some sort of reset going here.”
Busch is joined by Team Penske driver Ryan Blaney on the front row for Sunday’s 400-mile race on the concrete-mile track.
Busch was one of four Chevrolets in the top 10, Blaney led the three Fords, and three Toyotas were also inside the first five rows.
