Oct 4, 2023
Tyler Reddick enters Sunday's Bank of America ROVAL 400 at Charlotte Motor Speedway ninth in the Playoff standings, but the driver of the No. 45 23XI Racing Toyota is off to a strong start this weekend as he claimed the pole in Saturday's qualifying session with a fast lap of 81.214 around the 2.28-mile course.
Defending race winner Christopher Bell will start second in the No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota, followed by Daniel Suarez, Bubba Wallace and Kyle Busch.
Denny Hamlin advanced to the final round of qualifying, but spun in the backstretch chicane and was unable to post a lap time. Additionally, his JGR teammate Ty Gibbs was on track at the time and unable to complete his lap before NASCAR threw the red flag to end the session due to Hamlin's incident.
