Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines and get ready for the Bristol Dirt Race, where Kyle Larson is going to be kicking up some dust from the pole position! That’s right, the NASCAR gods have decided that Larson is the chosen one for Sunday night’s Cup race, all thanks to his fantastic performance in Saturday’s qualifying race.

For those of you wondering how this prestigious pole position was determined, let me explain. The starting lineup was all based on the points drivers earned in their respective heat races. Drivers earned points depending on where they finished in their heat race, and they could also earn additional points for each position they gained from their starting spot. And guess what? Our boy Larson nabbed the pole by earning the most points – 15 to be exact.

But don’t count out the rest of the pack just yet! Austin Dillon scored 14 points in his heat race win, so he’ll be hot on Larson’s heels starting from the second position. And then there’s JJ Yeley, driving for Rick Ware Racing, who also scored 14 points and will start third. Keep an eye on Christopher Bell, who will be starting in fourth position with 13 points, and of course, the always-popular Kyle Busch starting fifth with his own 13 points. In the case of a tie, the owner points served as the tiebreaker.

Now, let’s not forget the heat winners themselves: Austin Dillon (heat 1), Ryan Blaney (heat 2), Kyle Larson (heat 3), and Bubba Wallace (heat 4). Each of these drivers will be gunning for the top spot in Sunday night’s race, and we can’t wait to see the action unfold!

So grab your favorite race-day snacks, don your favorite driver’s merchandise, and buckle up for an epic showdown on the dirt at Bristol Motor Speedway. It’s going to be one for the books, and we can’t wait to see which driver comes out on top!
