CONCORD, N.C. _ On an unpredictable course like the Roval at Charlotte Motor Speedway, track position is as valuable as ever.
That means Kurt Busch, who won the pole Friday night for Sunday's Bank of America ROVAL 400 race, has to be especially happy with his performance.
"It's pretty special. Any inaugural event is fun to go to," Busch said. "We had a plan going into that. ... I'm just really proud of everyone on this 41 car."
While Busch will start on the pole, he'll be joined on the front row by A.J. Allmendinger. Alex Bowman will start third, Chase Elliott fourth and Kyle Larson fifth.
As for the Big 4? They were nowhere near the top of qualifying.
Martin Truex Jr. will start in 13th, Kyle Busch 14th, Kevin Harvick 19th and Brad Keselowski 25th.
