The NASCAR Xfinity Series makes the trek to Richmond Raceway for the final doubleheader weekend of the season. Kaulig Racing’s Ross Chastain is on the pole for the first NXS race of the weekend, the Go Bowling 250 on Friday, Sept. 11.
Chastain earned the position after finishing second last week at Darlington Raceway.
The lineup is based on a formula using driver’s and owner’s finishing position from previous race (25% each), fastest lap (15%) and rank in owner’s points (35%).
Brandon Jones, who passed Chastain and Denny Hamlin for the victory last Saturday (Sept. 5), starts next to the No. 10 driver. Jones’ Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Harrison Burton begins third, while JR Motorsports’ Noah Gragson is fourth. Stewart-Haas Racing’s Chase Briscoe rounds out the top five starters.
Ryan Sieg’s No. 39 Chevrolet is sixth, and Team Penske’s Austin Cindric starts seventh. Riley Herbst is eighth, Michael Annett is ninth and Justin Haley completes the top 10 qualifiers.
Cup Series regular Kyle Busch will start the race in 29th.
