Kyle Busch Uses Experience from Cup Practices to Earn Bristol XFINITY Pole

Kyle Busch earned his 65th career pole in the NASCAR XFINITY Series at Bristol on Friday (August 17th). The experience was the difference between first place Busch and second place Christopher Bell as Busch turned tons of laps during practice today.

Bell was on the verge of earning his first pole since Auto Club in March but would have to settle for second place.

Kyle Larson, who is still chasing his first elusive Bristol victory, put the No. 42 in third while Joey Logano and Matt Tifft rounded out the top-five.
