Joey Logano, driver of the No. 22 Nascar Ford Mustang, almost nabbed two consecutive pole positions in the Cup Series, but was dethroned by the No. 9 Chevy Camaro ZL1 of Tyler Reddick by just .037 seconds at the Kansas Speedway today.
Logano wheeled the No. 22 Mustang around the 1.5-mile oval speedway in 29.936 seconds with a top speed of 180.385 mph. Comparatively, Reddick’s No. 8 Camaro made a lap time of 29.899 seconds, topping out at 180.608 mph. Alex Bowman’s No. 48 Camaro will start third with a time of 29.964 seconds at 180.216 mph. Fourth place will be the only other non-Chevy to start in the top five: the No. 20 Toyota TRD Camry of Christopher Bell, while Ross Chastain’s No. 1 Camaro will take the green flag in fifth.
No teams were penalized during Saturday’s qualifying session. However, the No. 10 Mustang of Aric Almirola suffered a mechanical failure and was unable to post a lap. He will take the green flag in dead last, or 36th, as a result. Meanwhile, Kurt Busch, who won at Kansas back in May in the No. 45 Camry, will sit out yet another race after suffering a concussion several weeks ago. Bubba Wallace will drive the No. 45 Camry on Sunday in his stead.
The green flag will drop at Kansas Speedway on Sunday at 3 p.m. ET.
