Chase Briscoe, who started the season off with a pole in the Daytona 500, captured his series-leading seventh pole of the year on Saturday at Kansas Speedway. The driver of the No. 19 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota nabbed the pole with a 29.987-second (180.078 mph) lap time around the 1.5-mile speedway.

Briscoe, who topped Denny Hamlin, his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate, to win the pole by 0.101 seconds, was the lone driver to turn a lap faster than 30 seconds, and he was the only driver to record a lap in the 180 mph barrier.

Kyle Larson, Chase Elliott, and Christopher Bell made it a clean sweep for Playoff drivers inside the top-five of qualifying for Sunday's Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Speedway.
