Despite a late challenge from Ty Gibbs, William Byron held on to win his second consecutive NASCAR Cup pole at Circuit of the Americas.
Byron, who was fastest overall in Saturday’s extended practice, carried that speed into qualifying. He was fastest in the first round and his average lap speed of 94.696 mph was good enough to top Gibbs , who was the last car to complete a lap. The pole is Byron’s first of the 2024 season and 13th of his career. After starting on pole in this race a year ago, Byron led 28 laps and finished fifth. “We’ve just got to go through the process of the race,” Byron said.
