No. 8 Nascar Chevrolet Bumped From Pole In Qualifying For Kansas 2022

Tyler Reddick’s No. 8 Nascar Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 laid down a blistering lap around Kansas Speedway on May 14^th, besting the first group of qualifiers by almost 2 mph. His time at the top of the scoring pylon was cut short, however, as Christopher Bell in the No. 20 Toyota TRD Camry clocked a lap that was just barely faster to earn the pole position.

Reddick’s No. 8 Camaro got around the 1.5-mile oval track in 30.192 seconds at 178.885 mph while the No. 20 Camry of Bell posted a time of 30.071 and a top speed of 179.575 and will start first, with Reddick starting beside him on the front row.

There is a healthy mix of manufacturers filling out the rest of the top five. Kyle Larson, driver of the No. 5 Camaro, will start third, and the No. 2 Ford Mustang of Austin Cindric will start fourth. Taking the green flag in fifth place will be Kurt Busch in the No. 45 Toyota.

The No. 31 Nascar Chevrolet of Justin Haley and the No. 22 Ford Mustang of Joey Logano failed pre-qualifying inspection. As a result, each team has lost its car chief and pit stall selection. Haley’s No. 31 Camaro will start 15^th, while Logano’s No. 22 will start 34^th after wrecking in practice and moving to a backup car. Nascar did not disclose the infractions that resulted in the inspection failures. Meanwhile, the No. 3 Nascar Chevrolet of Austin Dillon will race without crew chief Justin Alexander, who was sidelined per the sanctioning body’s COVID protocol.

There is rain expected in Kansas on Sunday morning, but the race is currently scheduled to go green at 3 p.m. ET on May 15^th.
