The NASCAR Cup Series is set to contest its one and only race at Texas Motor Speedway on the 2025 calendar on Sunday afternoon, and Saturday afternoon's qualifying session produced a bit of a surprise at the front of the pack.
For the first time in his Cup Series career, Spire Motorsports' Carson Hocevar secured the pole position, beating Hendrick Motorsports' William Byron to the top spot by just 0.014 seconds in the single-car, single-round qualifying session.
Hocevar's lap clocked in at 28.175 seconds (191.659 miles per hour) around the four-turn, 1.5-mile (2.414-kilometer) Fort Worth, Texas oval, making it the second fastest lap of the Next Gen era.
Byron's lap at 191.564 miles per hour fell just shy of preventing Hocevar, 22, from becoming the youngest ever Cup Series polesitter at Texas for Sunday's Wurth 400 presented by Liqui Moly.
