Kyle Busch secures pole position for Dover Motor Speedway Cup race

On Sunday, Kyle Busch is set to lead the field at Dover Motor Speedway for the Cup race at 2 p.m. ET on FS1 after winning the pole with a lap of 162.191 mph, marking his 34th career Cup pole and second at Dover. Following Busch, Ryan Blaney, William Byron, Tyler Reddick, and Noah Gragson rounded out the top five in qualifying. Notable drivers like Denny Hamlin, Chase Briscoe, Michael McDowell, Alex Bowman, and AJ Allmendinger secured top 10 starting positions.

Corey Heim filled in for the injured Erik Jones in 32nd place with a lap of 159.327 mph, as 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.

Additional issues arose during qualifying, with Christopher Bell spinning during his opening lap and scraping 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.
