W\u00dcRTH 400 presented by LIQUI MOLY<\/a> Cup Series race, beginning at 2:30 p.m. CT (TV: FS1, FOX One, Radio: PRN, SiriusXM). He will be chasing his second consecutive Cup Series victory after earning his career first last Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway.<\/p>\n\u201cIt feels pretty good right now, it\u2019s so awesome,\u201d Hocevar said. \u201c\u2026I knew we were going out last and I was like, man, I really wanted to get the pole again and be the last car. I didn\u2019t expect to steal it from our teammate. You know, it\u2019s just the coolest thing when I was a fan, for sure, when the last car goes out and steals it at the last second.<\/p>\n
\u201cA testament to all the Spire guys, though. This is a front row; this is a team effort here. Two cars on the front row right after a win so hopefully we can do it at a non-superspeedway now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Suarez helped Spire Motorsports to a front-row sweep with his lap of 191.320 mph (28.225 secs.) in the No. 7 Chevrolet. It is a season-best starting position \u2013 topping fourth at Phoenix \u2013 and also marks his best qualifying effort in 14 visits to Texas Motor Speedway.<\/p>\n
RFK Racing\u2019s Chris Buescher, a native of Prosper, Texas, qualified third in his No. 17 Ford with a lap of 190.981 mph (28.275 secs.). The starting position is a season best and second-best effort in 17 appearances at TMS, only bettered by a second in 2023.<\/p>\n
Joe Gibbs Racing rounded out the top five qualifiers with Denny Hamlin taking fourth (190.786 mph, 28.304 secs.) and teammate Chase Briscoe fifth (190.786 mph, 28.304 secs.). JGR placed all four of the organization\u2019s drivers in the top 10 with Christopher Bell qualifying seventh (190.456 mph, 28.353 secs.) and Ty Gibbs 10th\u00a0(190.168 mph, 28.396 secs.).<\/p>\n
Also securing top-10 qualifying positions from three different teams were Richard Childress Racing\u2019s Kyle Busch (6th), 23XI Racing\u2019s Tyler Reddick with a series-leading five wins (8th) and Hendrick Motorsports\u2019 Alex Bowman (9th).<\/p>\n
