HOMESTEAD, Fla. – Regular season champion Tyler Reddick won the pole Saturday for the second race of the third round of NASCAR’s playoffs Sunday.

Reddick turned a lap of 267.452 mph in a Toyota Camry for 23XI Racing, beating Hendricks Motorsports driver Kyle Larson by 0.077 seconds to take the top starting spot at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Sunday.

Reddick is one of seven drivers competing for the remaining three spots in the Cup Series championship finals in Phoenix. Team Penske’s Joey Logano became the first driver to clinch the championship when he won in Las Vegas last week.

It is Reddick’s third pole of 2024 in the No. 45 Camry.

Joe Gibbs Racing’s Christopher Bell, who won last year’s race at Homestead, qualified third in the No. 20 Camry. Bell’s Gibbs teammate Denny Hamlin was next in the No. 11 Camry.

Qualifying positions for the remaining playoff drivers were Chase Elliott in seventh, reigning Cup champion Ryan Blaney in 20th and William Byron in 25th.
