Chase Briscoe has won more poles this season than any other Cup driver.

Chase Briscoe secures sixth NASCAR Cup pole this season

Chase Briscoe claimed the pole position for Sunday’s race at Iowa Speedway, marking his sixth pole of the NASCAR Cup season. His impressive performance included a lap speed of 136.933 mph, making him the leading driver in poles this year. Briscoe's successful streak is highlighted by not starting worse than second in his last four races and securing four poles within the past 10 races. William Byron follows in second with 136.435 mph, and Kyle Larson takes third with 136.429 mph. Notably, Kyle Busch will start at the back of the field following a crash in practice. The race will be aired at 3:30 p.m. ET on USA Network.

Briscoe's consistency this season positions him as a formidable contender in NASCAR. His ability to secure poles reflects not only his skill but also the competitive edge of his team. By achieving six poles, he joins the ranks of elite drivers, with Kyle Busch being the last to do so by the same point in the season back in 2017. This marks a significant achievement, but it also raises the stakes as he must convert these opportunities into race wins. As fans anticipate the upcoming race, Briscoe's form will be closely watched, especially as he faces stiff competition from fellow drivers eager to reclaim their positions.
