Ryan Blaney rockets to the pole at EchoPark Speedway with a blistering lap, edging out teammate Joey Logano for a historic Team Penske front-row sweep—his fourth career pole and first of the season. Kyle Larson and Austin Dillon lock in third and fourth, while Daniel Suarez rounds out the top five. Chase Elliott, the defending winner, starts seventh, while past performers like Tyler Reddick drop to 31st. Drama unfolded during qualifying when Chad Finchum spun out without posting a time. With 38 teams ready to race, the Quaker State 400 kicks off tomorrow night at 7 PM ET—watch for Blaney’s dominance and how the Penske duo dominates the draft.
