Ryan Blaney won the pole with a lap time of 30.815 seconds at 179.912 mph on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Blaney\u2019s teammate, Joey Logano, was second with a lap time of 30.851 seconds at 179.702 mph.<\/p>\n

\u201cFeels good to have a Penske front row,\u201d Blaney said, adding he also can work well with other Ford drivers. \u201cHopefully we\u2019ll be able to get organized at some point but it\u2019s nice that Joey and I are starting at the front.\u201d<\/p>

Blaney is third in the Cup Series points race. Points leader Denny Hamlin<\/a> and second-place Tyler Reddick qualified 28th and 31st, respectively, in their 23XI Racing Toyotas.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey normally don\u2019t qualify great at these speedways,\u201d Blaney said, adding he expects the Toyota cars \u201ccan probably be aggressive in the draft. … You look at the spring race here. The Toyotas were really good in the race.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reddick won at EchoPark Speedway<\/a> on Feb. 22.<\/p>\n

Kyle Larson was third in qualifying, followed by Austin Dillon and Daniel Suarez. Hendrick Motorsports teammates Alex Bowman and Chase Elliott qualified sixth and seventh, respectively. Elliott won last summer\u2019s race at his home track near Atlanta.<\/p>
