Kyle Larson grabbed the pole for the NASCAR Cup Series’ Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway after laying down a fast lap of 92.111 mph in the second round of qualifying Saturday (June 11).

Larson, who was fast all afternoon, snagged his second pole of the season, 12th of his career and fifth-straight at Sonoma.

It’s an all-Hendrick Motorsports front row, as Chase Elliott was about two-tenths of a second slower than Larson in round two. Chris Buescher, Michael McDowell and Tyler Reddick rounds out the top five.

Cole Custer, Ross Chastain, Daniel Suarez, Joey Logano and Denny Hamlin completes the top 10 in the lineup.

Kyle Busch, who was second-fastest in practice, starts 12th.

Cody Ware did not make a qualifying lap as the No. 51 Rick Ware Racing car failed pre-qualifying inspection three times. Additionally, he’ll serve a pass-through on pit road at the earliest time he can, and his engineer Steve Gray was ejected for the rest of the weekend.

Another team failed twice: Scott Heckert‘s No. 78 of Live Fast Motorsports. Engineer Chris Stanley was ejected for the weekend.

The Toyota/Save Mart 350 will go live on Sunday, June 12 at 4 p.m. ET and air on FOX Sports 1.
