Ryan Preece put down a spectacular lap at Richmond Raceway, earning pole position for the penultimate race of the regular season. Preece enters the race 34 points below the cut-line in the fight to make the playoffs, but he will start Saturday's race with a great opportunity to score some vital stage points.
"Great adjustments by Derrick [Finley, crew chief] and everyone on this Ford Mustang," said Preece, who now has two poles in his Cup Series career. "I can't thank RFK enough for the opportunity. What a race car. It might not have shown up in practice, but it did in qualifying."
