Weather played a role in Saturday's XFINITY Series qualifying at Homestead-Miami Speedway, canceling the final round and handing the pole to second round leader Kyle Busch. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver wheeled his No. 54 Toyota at 168.140 mph to earn his fifth pole of the season.
The middle round of qualifying became a race against weather for drivers, as rain drops decorated the windshields toward the end of the session. Qualifying was ultimately called at the end of the second session.
Sunoco Rookie of the Year candidate and Busch's JGR teammate Daniel Suarez earned the outside pole position, piloting his No. 18 Toyota at 168.046 mph for the front row spot.
Richard Childress Racing's Austin Dillon (167.266 mph) and Brian Scott (167.219 mph) earned the third and fourth starting spots, respectively. Ryan Blaney rounded out the top five with a fast lap of 167.110 mph in his No. 22 Ford.
Points leader and title contender Chris Buescher earned an 11th-place starting position, while fellow championship-contending driver Chase Elliott qualified 13th.
The XFINITY Series is back on track for the Ford EcoBoost 300 (2:45 p.m. ET, NBC/Live Extra/MRN/SiriusXM).
