KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Christopher Bell won the pole on Saturday for the third straight NASCAR Cup Series race at Kansas Speedway, giving him the best possible starting position as he tries to advance through the second round of the playoffs.
“We showed up with probably the best Kansas car we’ve ever had,” said Bell, who has finished in the top 10 in the past two races at Kansas but never has turned one of those brilliant starting positions into a win. Tyler Reddick, the defending Kansas playoff race winner, will start third alongside Kyle Busch, the only other non-playoff driver to advance through the first round of qualifying. Reddick held off Denny Hamlin to win in overtime last fall.Xfinity Series playoffs set to open this weekend at Kansas with van Gisbergen studying the rules“Practice was a little bit of a struggle for us, but I thought we made some good adjustments,” Reddick said.
