Brandon Jones, the driver of the No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota GR Supra, took the pole position for Saturday's NASCAR Xfinity Series Kansas Lottery 300 at Kansas Speedway. Jones turned a lap time of 31.140 seconds, which equates to an average speed of 173.410 mph, around the 1.5-mile speedway.
Jones paced Taylor Gray, his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate, by nearly a tenth of a second (0.096 sec.) to take the pole. This marks the 13th career pole for Jones and it comes in his 330th career start.
Now, the Playoff-contending driver who won at Darlington Raceway earlier this year will look to move to seven career wins in Saturday afternoon.
Sam Mayer, who won at Iowa Speedway last month, will start the race from the third position, while Brenden "Butterbean" Queen will roll from the fourth starting spot in his second career NASCAR Xfinity Series start.
Justin Allgaier, the defending series champion, rounded out the top-five qualifiers for Saturday's race.
With 39 cars attempting to make it into the 38-car field, one driver failed to make the field for the race. The driver going home after qualifying is Glen Reen, who was piloting the No. 35 Joey Gase Motorsports entry in the session.
Here is the official starting lineup for the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series Kansas Lottery 300 at Kansas Speedway. Race 28 of 33.
