Kyle Busch started from the Pole in the Heat 1 qualifier for the Busch Light Clash at the LA Memorial Coliseum, and he dominated the 25-lap race to score the win. By virtue of taking the win in Heat 1, Busch will start from the pole in Saturday night’s 23-car Main Event Busch Light Clash.

Daniel Suarez finished second in Heat 1, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. was third and Ryan Blaney prevailed in a hard-fought battle with Denny Hamlin for the final transfer spot.
