Hendrick NASCAR Chevy Teams On Front Row At Kansas May 2023

Two of the four Hendrick Motorsports NASCAR Chevy teams will lead the field to green at Kansas Speedway for the Cup Series race on May 7th, 2023.

On the pole will be the No. 24 Chevy Camaro ZL1 of William Byron, who got around the 1.5-mile asphalt oval in just 30.133 seconds at 179.206 mph.

“I had to work on the balance [during practice] to get [the No. 24 NASCAR Chevy] freer for qualifying, but it seemed like we did that there,” said Byron, who was able to gather his race car back up after scraping the wall during practice. “So really good through [Turns] 1 and 2 and got a little tight through 3 and 4, so I’ve got some data to probably study of how I can get through that end.”

Byron’s No. 24 Camaro will be starting beside his teammate, Kyle Larson, who threw the No. 5 Camaro around Kansas in 30.139 seconds at 179.17 mph. A third NASCAR Chevy – the No. 1 Camaro of Ross Chastain – will start third, having posted a time of 30.181 seconds at 179.134 mph, and Martin Truex Jr., driver of the No. 19 Camry and last weekend’s race winner, will start fourth, thanks to his lap of 30.181 seconds at 178.921 mph. Finally, Tyler Reddick’s No. 45 Camry will start fifth.

The Cup Series race at Kansas will start on Sunday, May 7th at 3 p.m. ET.
