He may not be in the playoffs, but Ross Chastain isn't going away quietly after earning pole position for Sunday's race.
It was just the second pole of Ross Chastain's career and his first on a road course. The last time he started from pole was at Nashville last summer, a race he won. The driver of the No. 1 Trackhouse Racing Chevrolet almost seemed in disbelief after the qualifying session at Watkins Glen International on Saturday. 'So much work has gone into this,' said Chastain. 'Turning right seems simple, but it’s been something that’s been such a challenge for me.
Other playoff drivers starting deeper in the field: William Byron 11th; Chase Briscoe 12th; Chase Elliott 14th; Ty Gibbs 15th; Tyler Reddick 16th; Christopher Bell 17th; Kyle Larson 19th; Denny Hamlin 21st; Brad Keselowski 27th; Ryan Blaney 29th; Harrison Burton 32nd. Juan Pablo Montoya, making his first Cup start in over a decade, qualified 34th. In the first round, McDowell advanced into the pole round by besting Briscoe by just 0.017s in Group A.
