Before qualifying was over, 23XI Racing's Tyler Reddick and Bubba Wallace were worried that they had ruined each other's laps, but in fact, their timing was perfect. Tyler Reddick earned pole position, just ahead of teammate Bubba Wallace who followed in his tire tracks around the updated 2.40-mile circuit.
"I was worried I screwed his [Wallace] lap up and he was worried he screwed my lap up," said Reddick, who now has ten Cup Series poles, four of those on road courses. "Man, today really threw us for a loop. The pace was nowhere where we thought it was going to be. Everybody here at 23XI really had to go to work on our Toyota Camrys. We made massive improvements I think from practice 1 to practice 2 ... Just really glad the day went like it did. That's going to be great track position for us tomorrow."
