Alex Bowman is hoping to continue the trend of drivers whose surnames start with the letter 'B' winning every race this year, and he certainly improved his chances via his Saturday qualifying effort. Thanks to a helpful cloud, he was able to put the No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet on pole position.
Noah Gragson, who was just the fifth driver out on track, held onto the top spot for most of the session while several contenders struggled. As the track warmed up in the Florida sun, no one could match the No. 4 Front Row Motorsports Ford as Gragson came closer and closer to collecting his first career NASCAR Cup Series pole after 80 tries.
