Kyle Busch will start second on Sunday after posting the second fastest time of the final round. It'll be the second time in 2018 the Las Vegas, Nevada native has started on the front row, he won the pole at Atlanta last month.
Defending race winner Kyle Larson qualified third followed by Erik Jones and Austin Dillon. Kevin Harvick dominated both the first and second rounds but didn't find that speed in the final round. He'll start the race on Sunday in 10th.
Inspection issues marred the first round and ultimately resulted in 12 drivers not being able to turn a lap during qualifying. The likes of Denny Hamlin. Chase Elliott, Jimmie Johnson, among others failed to post a lap before the clock hit zero on the first round. Those drivers will start at the rear of the field on Sunday but with sticker tires, they could be at an advantage.
