One Brothers Technical Error Leads to Other Brother Winning Pole

When it comes to the Busch brothers this weekend in Atlanta they were fast in Qualifying. One was legally fast while the other had a technical error on his car causing it to fail post qualifying inspection. On Friday Afternoon the first group qualifying of the season took place at a Cold and Windy Atlanta Motor Speedway. Surprising names like Bayne, Scott, and Kahne, names we haven't heard from much as of late had fast cars. The likes of Dale Earnhardt Jr., Ryan Blaney, Joey Logano had surprising starting spots toward the back. Kyle Busch had the fastest speed in the final round but his qualifying time was disallowed because the rear toe of the car was off by 0.15 degrees. He will start 39th. Since only 39 drivers were entered all drivers made Sunday's Folds Of Honor QuikTrip 500 including Josh Wise and Cole Whitt, drivers who missed the Daytona 500 just a week before.
