Byron, the next-to-last driver to go out in the final round of qualifying Saturday, posted an average lap speed of 166.389 mph to win the pole for Sunday’s playoff race at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
The pole is the first for Byron this year and comes at a track in which he won last season. With two races remaining in the semifinal round of the playoffs, Byron is the first driver in points below the cutline to transfer to the Championship 4.
