Kyle Busch Earns XFINITY Coors Light Pole at Las Vegas

By Staff Report|NASCAR.com

Whirling around Las Vegas Motor Speedway at 182.698 mph, Kyle Busch swept all three rounds of XFINITY Series qualifying on Saturday, earning his 50th career Coors Light Pole Award. The Las Vegas native has never won an XFINITY race at his hometown track.

Busch’s Joe Gibbs Racing teammates Erik Jones (182.642 mph) and Daniel Suarez(182.519 mph) will start in the second and third positions, respectively, in Saturday’s Boyd Gaming 300 (4 p.m. ET, FOX Sports 1, PRN, SiriusXM). JR Motorsports’ Chase Elliott will roll off the grid fourth (181.702 mph) while Richard Childress Racing’s Brandon Jones qualified fifth with a fast lap of 181.684 mph in his No. 33 ride.

Austin Dillon, last year’s winner at Las Vegas, failed to make the final round of qualifying and will start Saturday’s race from the 14th position.

Derrike Cope’s No. 70 team hustled to prep a backup car for qualifying after a wreck during Friday practice. But the team wasn’t able to get the car on track before the Round 1 time clock expired and Cope’s No. 70 did not make the field. Todd Peck also failed to qualify for the event, the third of 33 races this season.

The first round was briefly halted with a caution due to fluid on the track.

The XFINITY Series is back on track at 4 p.m. ET for the Boyd Gaming 300 (FS1, PRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).
