Xfinity Race Preview: Riley Herbst and Brandon Jones Secure Front Row Spots at Dover Motor Speedway

Riley Herbst and Brandon Jones secured the front row positions at Dover Motor Speedway on Friday with impressive qualifying times. Herbst qualified close behind Jones, recording a lap of 156.781 mph, while Jones set a new record with a lap of 156.863 mph. This marks his 10th career series pole.

Herbst expressed frustration after qualifying, questioning the rules of passing during the race. He had an impressive finish last week at Talladega and is competing for the $100,000 Dash 4 Cash bonus. Joining him on the front row is Justin Allgaier, who qualified in third place with a lap of 156.672 mph, followed by Austin Hill in fourth with a lap of 156.060 mph.

Sheldon Creed secured fifth place at 155.851 mph, and Kyle Weatherman achieved a career-best sixth place at 155.689 mph. Other drivers competing for the Dash 4 Cash bonus include Jesse Love, Ryan Sieg, and Anthony Alfredo.

The Xfinity race is set to begin at 1:47 p.m on Saturday on FS1 at Dover Motor Speedway, marking the 78th time Xfinity teams have competed at this venue.
