On Sunday, the starting lineup at Dover Motor Speedway will feature a Chevrolet driver leading the charge, as Kyle Busch was the fastest during Saturday’s qualifying session. He was one of four Chevy drivers to make it to the final round, alongside William Byron, Alex Bowman, and AJ Allmendinger.
Meanwhile, Ryan Blaney was the fastest Ford driver and came in second in qualifying. Noah Gragson, Chase Briscoe, and Michael McDowell also made it to the second round of qualifying in their Fords. Unfortunately, Erik Jones suffered a compression fracture in a lower vertebra last week at Talladega and will miss Sunday’s race at Dover.
Tyler Reddick and Denny Hamlin were the only Toyota drivers to make it to the second round of qualifying. 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.
