Ryan Blaney, the recent Cup champion who came within 0.003 seconds of Daniel Suárez, won the pole position to lead the field to green. Ford drivers own nine of the first 10 starting positions in Sunday’s race — including all four members of the Team Penske/Wood Brothers Racing alliance on the front two rows.

Carson Hocevar was making a bold last-lap move for the win on Sunday, but came up just feet shy. He didn't make many friends in the process.
