Who is on the pole for Crown Royal Purple Bag Project 200?

Stewart-Haas Racing driver Cole Custer was awarded the pole for Saturday’s race after practice, and qualifying was canceled due to rain. It marked his 20th career Xfinity pole, and he was joined by Chandler Smith on the front row.

NASCAR set the starting lineup by the rulebook's qualifying metric, which means Custer will lead the field to the green flag due to his performance at the Dover race.

They will be followed by Sheldon Creed, A. J. Allmendinger, Austin Hill, Sam Mayer, Justin Allgaier, Anthony Alfredo, Riley Herbst, and Parker Retzlaff, completing the top 10 in the starting lineup for the main event.
