NASCAR Cup Series regular Ty Gibbs will lead the field to green in Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity Series Tennessee Lottery 250 at Nashville Superspeedway, capturing the pole position in single-vehicle qualifying from the 1.33-mile concrete racetrack.

Gibbs, scheduled to be the 15th of 39 drivers to post a qualifying time in Saturday’s session, secured the ninth NASCAR Xfinity Series pole of his career with a time three-tenths of a second quicker than any driver laid down during the series’ practice session.

Posting a time of 30.876 seconds (155.072mph), Gibbs had his No. 19 He Gets Us Toyota GR Supra a half-tenth of a second ahead of runner-up Cole Custer, who will start alongside the Cup Series sophomore for Saturday’s 188-lap contest.

In third place, Ryan Sieg recorded the best-ever qualifying result for both himself and family-owned team RSS Racing in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. Sieg has never started better than third in an Xfinity Series event, doing so at Talladega in 2020 (qualifying was not run).
