Ty Dillon wins Nationwide Series pole

Chris Buescher continued to his strong recent run and qualified third (183.393 mph) in his No. 60 Ford for Roush Fenway Racing. Kevin Harvick (183.362 mph) will start fourth, ahead of Brian Scott (183.299 mph).

Series points leader Chase Elliott will line up 12th on the grid.

Richard Childress Racing teammates Scott and Dillon led the opening two sessions, respectively.

Matt Kenseth (181.622 mph) finished 13th in the second round and did not make the 12-driver final session. Neither did Ryan Reed (180.898 mph, 14th), Dylan Kwasniewski (180.789 mph, 15th) or James Buescher (180.463 mph, 16th).

Regan Smith, second in the points standings to JR Motorsports teammate Elliott, qualified 24th in the field but will have to start from the rear, and in a backup car. He spun around in Turn 2 during the 10-minute second round, and his No. 7 Chevrolet incurred heavy damage. And because qualifying was hours before Saturday's race, Smith hasn't had any seat time in his backup vehicle.

The red flag had previously been displayed in the second round when John Wes Townley hit the wall, but the break to clean the track of debris following Smith's wreck was significantly longer.

Group qualifying at the 1.5-mile track consisted of three rounds, with 24 cars advancing from the first round to the second and 12 cars advancing to the final five-minute round.

Milka Duno qualified 34th and will make her NASCAR debut.

Morgan Shepherd, Tanner Berryhill and Ryan Ellis did not qualify.
