Qualifying – Report
Laps: 2
The field is ready to set their starting positions for Sunday’s MENCS event.
Group A consists of the bottom 20 qualifiers from last week. Their order in this group has been set at a random draw.
Very few drivers are cutting the tri-oval portion of the track at the start finish line. We’ve seen drivers get aggressive down there in the past. However, not much in this session.
Clint Bowyer is quickest so far as group A comes to a close.

Group B
Truex is aggressive on the apron through the tri-oval. He jumps to the top of the board by nearly two full tenths of a second.
Denny Hamlin spent almost all of his two laps in the red. In turns 3-4 on his final lap, he drove below the apron, got the drive off and went into the green. Hamlin narrowly jumps to the top of the board with that line.
Brad Keselowski is loose off turn for on his run.
Kyle Busch jumps to the top of the board on his first lap. He’s even faster on lap two. He jumps to the top of the board by more than a tenth.
Kyle Busch will start from the pole position in Phoenix, Arizona!
That’s the first pole position of 2019 for Kyle Busch. That comes at an interesting time but he said the team worked on qualifying trim during practice for maybe the first time this year.
