Shane Van Gisbergen defeats Tyler Reddick for Maiden Cup Pole at the Charlotte ROVAL

It’s not often that time trials get as intense as they did during the final moments of Saturday’s NASCAR Cup Series session from the Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL.

Tyler Reddick, who took pole position at last October’s ROVAL, went out early in the session and set a fast lap time, appearing safe from the competition. That was until Shane Van Gisbergen took to the track.

The Auckland, New Zealand native was patient throughout the final lap, waiting to lay down his lap until most of the field had pulled onto pit road. That ultimately paid off, as the Kaulig Racing driver placed the No. 13 WeatherTech Chevrolet Camaro at the top of the speed charts.

When the team returned to pit road, they were celebrating as Tyler Reddick, unbeknownst to them, had brought his No. 45 Monster Energy Toyota Camry -champion. .

It came down to the wire and Reddick ultimately improved his time from earlier in the second round of qualifying, but it wasn’t enough for the 23XI Racing driver to dethrone Van Gisbergen, who won the first NASCAR Cup Series pole not only for himself conquered. , but for Kaulig Racing.

With a lap of 82.704 seconds (99.246 mph), Van Gisbergen maintained first place on the speed charts during qualifying. However, NASCAR Xfinity Series regulars also posted the fastest lap of the overall session, on the first lap, at a speed of 82.697 (99.254 mph).

Tyler Reddick will start Sunday’s Bank of America ROVAL 400 from the outside of the front row, while Van Gisbergen’s Kaulig Racing teammate AJ Allmendinger claims third place. Team Penske teammates Joey Logano and Austin Cindric rounded out the top five.

Kyle Larson, Chase Elliott, Brad Keselowski, Bubba Wallace and William Byron rounded out the top 10, all posting fast enough lap times on the first lap to advance to the second. Kyle Busch and Christopher Bell were first out in their respective sessions, starting 11th and 12th.

Only six of the drivers eligible for the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs will start from the top-10 on Sunday, while the other six will be forced to make some ground once the green flag drops on Sunday.

Christopher Bell (12th), Daniel Suarez (13th). Ryan Blaney (14th), Alex Bowman (17th), Denny Hamlin (18th) and Chase Briscoe (25th) missed out on advancing to the second qualifying round on Saturday, meaning they will have the biggest hole to dig out of. Sunday’s Bank of America ROVAL 400.
