On Sunday, NASCAR Cup Series drivers will race at Dover Motor Speedway, with Kyle Busch leading the field. Busch won the pole position with a lap of 162.191 mph, marking his 34th career Cup pole and second at Dover.
Following Busch in qualifying were Ryan Blaney, William Byron, Tyler Reddick, and Noah Gragson. Notable drivers like Denny Hamlin, Chase Briscoe, Michael McDowell, Alex Bowman, and AJ Allmendinger secured top 10 starting positions.
However, some challenges arose during qualifying. Corey Heim filled in for the injured Erik Jones in 32nd place with a lap of 159.327 mph. Jones will miss the race after suffering a compression fracture in a lower vertebra following an incident at Talladega. Zane Smith and Kaz Grala were unable to take part in qualifying due to crashes in Group B practice, with Grala requiring the backup car after hitting the wall nose-first in his No. 15 Ford.
Additionally, Christopher Bell spun during his opening lap and scraped the rear of the car against the outside wall. Despite these challenges, the green flag is set to wave at 2:11 p.m., with FS1 providing coverage beginning with NASCAR RaceDay at 1 p.m., as fans eagerly await an exciting race day at Dover Motor Speedway!
