Chase Briscoe became just the tenth driver to earn pole position for both the Daytona 500 and Coca-Cola 600 in the same year, besting Kyle Larson by 0.020s in NASCAR Cup Series qualifying on Saturday.
Briscoe now has four career poles, but his previous best start in the 600 is only 15th. Larson, who will be excused from driver introductions and the pre-race driver's meeting while he competes in the Indianapolis 500, has only started from the front row once before in NASCAR's longest race. That was when he earned pole in 2021, going on to win the Coke 600 that year.
William Byron, who recently signed a four-year contract extension with Hendrick Motorsports, placed third, Chris Buescher was the top-qualifying Ford driver in fourth, and A.J. Allmendinger earned his best start of the 2025 season in fifth.
Jimmie Johnson, who is making his 700th career start, qualified 17th while Ross Chastain was the only driver to not take part after an incident in practice.
