Kyle Busch on the Pole for the History 300

Concord, NC – (May 24, 2014)  Kyle Busch continues his domination of the NASCAR Nationwide Series by scoring the pole for the History 300 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Busch turned in a lap of 183.094 mph to secure the top spot.  Saturday’s pole was the 38th career pole for Busch, and his second of the season with the other coming at Darlington.

Busch will be driving the No. 54 Monster Energy Drink Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing. He shares that ride with other drivers throughout the season, most notable of which is, Sam Hornish, who drove it to victory lane last week at Iowa Speedway. Busch has two wins and eight top-10’s in just eight starts this season.

Brad Keselowski will start second on Saturday, with Kyle Larson, Dylan Kwasniewski and Kevin Harvick rounding out the top five.

Other notables:

Series points leader, Chase Elliott, led final practice and turned in a lap of 179.892 mph and will start ninth. Elliott Sadler qualified in the tenth position. Rookie contender, Ty Dillon, will take the green in eleventh.

The green flag falls on the History 300 at 2:45 local time.
