Kyle Busch earns second consecutive Monster Energy Series pole
Kyle Busch won the pole for Sunday’s Pocono 400 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race (FS1, 1:30 p.m. ET) at Pocono Raceway, earning his second consecutive No. 1 qualifying slot and 21st of his career.
“It’s all about the speed our guys have been bringing to the race track,” said Busch, who qualified at 179.151 miles per hour in his No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota. “… It’s only going to get more hot and slick.”
And for the second week in a row, Martin Truex Jr. qualified second in the No. 78 Furniture Row Racing Toyota, so he’ll start on the outside of Row 1 after posting a speed of 178.543 mph around the three-turn, 2.5-mile Pocono track.
