Kyle Larson on pole for Xfinity at Road America
Kyle Larson will lead the Xfinity Series field to the green flag at Road America Saturday (July 2).
Larson scored the pole in a Hendrick Motorsports entry, posting a lap time of 134.318 seconds on the 4.048-mile road course, in his return to NASCAR’s second-tier series for the first time since 2018.
“I haven’t quite figured how far I can brake into (Turn 1), but really happy with my car,” Larson said of his pole run.
“In race trim, it felt great, the long-run stuff was really good. I think we have a really good HendrickCars.com Chevy, so having fun.”
For Larson, it is his fifth career pole in the series.
Ty Gibbs, Riley Herbst, Cole Custer and Sam Mayer rounded out the Top-5 qualifiers.
Ryan Vargas, J.J. Yeley and Dexter Bean failed to qualify for the race.
The Henry 180 will be televised live on Saturday, July 2, on USA Network at 2:30 p.m. ET.
