Love extends RCR Talladega pole record to 8 straight

TALLADEGA, Ala. — Jesse Love flexes his Richard Childress Racing superspeedway power and captures the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series pole at Talladega Superspeedway.

This pole pushes his series total to double-digits with ten and extends RCR’s pole total to eight straight at the track.

He starts alongside Sam Mayer as the entire top fifteen qualifiers were Chevrolets.

Most notably, DGM Racing brought tremendous single-car superspeedway speed as both Mason Maggio and Josh Williams qualified inside the top ten.

Eight of the top ten qualifiers had ECR power under their hoods with Corey Day breaking up the competition with his Hendrick powered Chevrolet in third.

William Sawalich is the first non-Chevy in the field in 16th as Toyota looks to capitalize on their handling in the race over single-lap pace.

All 38 entrants made the 38 car field for the event.

Below is the Ag-Pro 300 starting lineup for the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series at Talladega.
