The two drivers who have seized control of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Playoff continued their domination in Friday’s knockout qualifying session at Dover International Speedway. Navigating the Monster Mile in 22.407 seconds (160.664 mph) in the final round, #78-Truex edged #18-Kyle Busch (160.392 mph) for the top starting spot in Sunday’s Apache Warrior 400, the elimination race in the Playoff’s Round of 16. Truex won his second Coors Light Pole Award of the season, his third at Dover-the closest facility to his Mayetta, New Jersey home town-and the 14th of his career. Winner of a series-best five races this season, Truex will start on the front row for the ninth time this season. Going for his third straight qualifying sweep, Busch was fastest in the first and second rounds but fell short in the third. With last Sunday’s victory at New Hampshire, Busch also is guaranteed a spot in the Round of 12.(NASCAR Wire Service)[Read More Here]
