Reddick, Wallace lockout Darlington front row

DARLINGTON, S.C. — Tyler Reddick and Bubba Wallace lockout the Goodyear 400 front row for 23XI Racing.

This is Reddick’s 13th career NASCAR Cup Series pole, his second this year but first on merit.

The 23XI duo outpaced the field by a noticeable margin to claim the top two spots.

Behind them are another few rows of teammates.

Hendrick Motorsport’s Chase Elliott carries his momentum from Las Vegas in third. Meanwhile Kyle Larson, who is on the pole for the O’Reilly Series race, will start fourth.

Two RFK Racing drivers comprise the third row. Brad Keselowksi starts fifth as he looks to emulate his previous win at Darlington while Chris Buescher wants to continue his great run of top tens here in sixth.

Ryan Blaney is the first Team Penske driver in seventh. He’ll start alongside Kyle Busch who welcomes a chance to start up front in eighth.

Denny Hamlin looked strong in the practice session and had to back out of the first corner considerably to avoid the wall in his run but still starts ninth.

All of RCR can breath a little easier as Austin Dillon starts tenth and confirms the teams short-run speed.

37 entrants competed for 37 spots. Timmy Hill is the lone open entry in the event.

Three cars failed pre-race technical inspections twice. Chris Buescher, Chase Elliott, and Timmy Hill all lost their pit selection and had their car chiefs ejected.

Below is the full starting lineup for the Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway.
