Chase Briscoe earned his third pole of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season, and his second in a row, by setting a new track record on Saturday at Nashville Superspeedway.
Briscoe, who started on the pole for last week's Coca-Cola 600, will also lead the field to the green flag in Sunday's Cracker Barrel 400 at Nashville. He clocked in at 29.125 seconds in the No. 19 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota.
Briscoe's teammate, Denny Hamlin, will join him on the front row. William Byron qualified third, followed by Tyler Reddick and Ross Chastain.
Brad Keselowski, Christopher Bell, Michael McDowell, Joey Logano and Chris Buescher rounded out the top 10 in the qualifying session.
Prior to Saturday's qualifying session, Aric Almirola held the NASCAR Cup Series track record with a time of 29.557 seconds around the 1.33-mile oval. Everyone in the top 12 during Saturday's qualifying session bettered that mark, with Briscoe dropping the record by more than four tenths of a second.
The Cracker Barrel 400 takes the green flag on Sunday, June 1 at Nashville Superspeedway at 7 p.m. ET. Coverage will be provided by Prime Video, the Performance Racing Network and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
