The Glendale, Arizona, native is set to achieve a milestone start at Thunder Valley while in his third full-time Cup season with Front Row Motorsports.
With a lap time of 25.480 seconds, Ryan Blaney captured his sixth career pole for Sunday’s TicketGuardian 500 at ISM Raceway in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series.
