At Michigan International Speedway, Chase Briscoe wins the third consecutive pole and the fourth NASCAR-high pole

At Michigan International Speedway on Saturday, Chase Briscoe secured his fourth NASCAR-high victory of the year and his third consecutive pole position. Driving the No. 19 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing, Briscoe set the fastest pole position in the Cup Series since Ryan Blaney’s 200+ mph lap at Texas in 2018 with a lap of 195.514 mph during qualifying on the 2-mile oval. He wants to win for the third time in his career and for the first time this year after five top-five finishes. “We’ve been able to do that for the past three weeks, but we haven’t been able to execute with it,” Briscoe remarked. “It will be nice starting up front.” “Hopefully, the third time will be a charm.”
Kyle Busch will start the FireKeepers Casino 400 second on Sunday in the No. 8 Chevrolet. Points leader William Byron, driving the No. 24 Chevrolet, finished fourth, while Denny Hamlin, driving the No. 11 Toyota, qualified third. Tyler Reddick, the reigning race champion, will start 12th in the No. 45 Toyota for 23XI Racing, which is suing NASCAR.
