Kyle Busch Draws Pole for Quaker State 400 at Kentucky Speedway

Two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Busch will start on the pole for Sunday’s Quaker State 400 at Kentucky Speedway. Busch – who won the pole via random draw — will look to become only the second three-time winner in Kentucky Speedway’s history when the green flag flies on Sunday.

Joey Logano, Kevin Harvick, Aric Almirola and Alex Bowman will round out the top-five starters for the event.

Jimmie Johnson – who returns to racing at Kentucky after testing positive for COVID-19 last Friday prior to the event at Indianapolis — will start in the 20th position.
