For the second straight week, a first-time NASCAR Cup Sequence pole winner will lead the sector to the inexperienced flag.
Every week after Zane Smith earned his first profession Cup Sequence pole at Talladega, Carson Hocevar — who was quickest in Saturday’s practice session — received the pole for the Wurth 400 at Texas with a lap of 28.174 seconds.
It is the primary pole for Hocevar in his 56th Cup Sequence qualifying session.
Per Prime Video as relayed by The Athletic’s Jeff Gluck, Hocevar, 22, is the youngest Cup Sequence pole winner within the historical past of Texas Motor Speedway.
“It is tremendous spectacular, what we have been capable of do,” Hocevar instructed Prime Video’s Regan Smith. “Tremendous pleased with this workforce.”
Daytona 500 winner William Byron will be part of Hocevar on the entrance row, with Austin Cindric, Kyle Larson and Michael McDowell rounding out the highest 5. Ty Gibbs, Josh Berry, Denny Hamlin, Bubba Wallace and AJ Allmendinger accomplished the highest 10.
Different notable qualifying efforts embrace Christopher Bell in sixteenth, Ryan Blaney in twenty fourth, Joey Logano in twenty seventh, Chase Elliott in twenty ninth and Ross Chastain in thirty first.
Chad Finchum was the slowest of the 38 automobiles to take time and can begin final on Sunday.
The Wurth 400 at Texas will go inexperienced shortly after 3:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, with protection on FS1, PRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. Pre-race protection will start at 2 p.m. ET on FS1 and a pair of:30 p.m. ET on PRN. Elliott is the defending winner.
