This put No. 28 J.J. Yeley on the pole for Friday night’s event with Richard Childress Racing driver Ty Dillon lining up next to him in second.
Brendan Gaughan, Brad Keselowski and Paul Menard completed the top five.
The XFINITY Series has had only an hour and 10 minutes on the track for one practice on Thursday due to the weather in Kentucky. The XFINITY Series was supposed to have two practices on Thursday, but the first was canceled due to rain.
