NASCAR Cup Darlington qualifying results: Logano on pole

The starting lineup has been set for NASCAR's throwback race at Darlington.

Joey Logano rebounded from a difficult weekend at Dover to take pole position for Team Penske at Darlington Raceway. It will be his 23rd career pole and his first since June, 2019 at Michigan.

Logano lapped the track in 28.805 seconds, averaging 170.720mph. Kyle Larson will start alongside on the front row.

Kevin Harvick, Chase Elliott, and BJ McLeod did not set a time.
