NASCAR Cup Series
Kyle Busch, Richard Childress Racing Agree to Contract Extension
May 24, 2025
Chase Briscoe will start on the pole for the 2025 edition of the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Briscoe clocked in at 29.532 seconds (182.852 mph) around the 1.5-mile speedway to earn pole position for one of the crown jewel events for the NASCAR Cup Series. It is Briscoe's fourth pole position of his career, and his second of 2025 after leading the field to the green flag in the Daytona 500.
Kyle Larson qualified second, giving him a front-row starting position for the second leg of his attempt at "The Double" on Sunday. Larson is starting 19th in the Indianapolis 500 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway to start Sunday's double-duty attempt.
William Byron, fresh off announcing a contract extension with Hendrick Motorsports, qualified third, followed by Chris Buescher and A.J. Allmendinger.
John Hunter Nemechek, Ty Gibbs, Noah Gragson, Alex Bowman and Christopher Bell rounded out the top 10.
Ross Chastain, who crashed during practice, did not set a time during qualifying. Carson Hocevar lost control and nearly spun exiting turn four during his qualifying attempt, relegating him 39th and joining Chastain on the last row of the grid.
Sunday's Coca-Cola 600 begins at 6 p.m. ET. Coverage of the event is available on Prime Video, the Performance Racing Network and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
