Wallace, Bell on Darlington Poles

Bubba Wallace won the Southern 500 pole

DARLINGTON, SC – AUG 31, 2024 – RIS) Bubba Wallace started to make amends for the disappointing season in the No. 23 Toyota, taking the pole position for the Cook Out Southern 500.

In practice for the Cook Out Southern 500, Ricky Stenhouse misjudged a corner and spun into the inside wall, doing slight damage to the nose of the No. 47 Chevy, just enough to keep the car from making a qualifying attempt. William Byron topped the first group of Cup qualifiers until Bubba Wallace, last car in the group, beat his time. The second group saw Corey LaJoie outrun the early lappers, until Josh Berry ran just 0.025 second quicker, setting the stage for Austin Cindric’s lap to beat out Berry by 0.065 second. Cindric’s tenure at the top of the group lasted only until his Team Penske fellow Ryan Blaney pipped him, but then Ryan Truex Jr, the next driver on the track, beat them both for the top slot. Carson Hocevar drove into the fifth position, with Christopher Bell taking the top spot by 0.053 second, relegating Cindric to sixth and out of the second round of qualifying.

Chris Buescher took to the track first in the second session, but never had the speed to move up. Bubba Wallace went on to take the pole ahead of Carson Hocevar by the margin of only 0.024 second, with Chase Briscoe third, Kyle Larson fourth and Martin Truex Jr fifth. 

Austin Hill dominated the track in practice for the NASCAR Xfinity Series Sport Clips Haircuts VFW Help A Hero 200 but Cup Series driver Christopher Bell and five other racers punted him back to sixth in the starting grid for the Saturday afternoon race.

Bell is one of the Cup Series regular drivers looking for a little extra seat time at the tricky old South Carolina track.
