In what has been an inconsistent season for Team Penske, and Ford Racing, Ryan Blaney led the way in a particularly strong Saturday at EchoPark Speedway for the race team and the blue oval brigade.Blaney turned a 30.815-second (179.912 mph) lap time in the final round of Saturday's NASCAR Cup Series qualifying session around the 1.54-mile speedway in Hampton, GA, which allowed him to top Joey Logano, his Team Penske teammate, for the pole position by 0.036 seconds.The two Team Penske drivers, who have a combined four NASCAR Cup Series championships, will lead the field to green in Sunday's Quaker State 400.For the second consecutive week, Kyle Larson will start from the third starting position. This time around, he's hoping for a better result in the race, as he saw his race come unraveled last weekend at Chicagoland Speedway with a mid-race spin.Austin Dillon had an eye-raising performance in qualifying, as he'll start fourth in the No. 3 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet.Daniel Suarez, Alex Bowman, Chase Elliott, Austin Cindric, Ross Chastain, and Brad Keselowski rounded out the top-10 fastest drivers in the qualifying session.Official Quaker State 400 Starting Lineup1. 12 - Ryan Blaney2. 22 - Joey Logano3. 5 - Kyle Larson4. 3 - Austin Dillon5. 7 - Daniel Suarez6. 48 - Alex Bowman7. 9 - Chase Elliott8. 2 - Austin Cindric9. 1 - Ross Chastain10. 6 - Brad Keselowski11. 43 - Erik Jones12. 97 - Shane van Gisbergen13. 17 - Chris Buescher14. 77 - Carson Hocevar15. 47 - Ricky Stenhouse, Jr.16. 10 - Ty Dillon17. 21 - Josh Berry18. 71 - Michael McDowell19. 60 - Ryan Preece20. 19 - Chase Briscoe21. 34 - Todd Gilliland22. 23 - Bubba Wallace23. 54 - Ty Gibbs24. 42 - John Hunter Nemechek25. 88 - Connor Zilisch26. 24 - William Byron27. 16 - AJ Allmendinger28. 11 - Denny Hamlin29. 35 - Riley Herbst30. 33 - Austin Hill31. 45 - Tyler Reddick32. 20 - Christopher Bell33. 41 - Cole Custer34. 38 - Zane Smith35. 51 - Cody Ware36. 4 - Noah Gragson37. 78 - BJ McLeod38. 66 - Chad FinchumAdd us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
