    Kyle Busch won the pole for Sunday's Food City 500 at Bristol, and he beat a familiar opponent to do it — his older brother, Kurt Busch.

    Kyle, the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup series points leader, turned a lap of 14.895 seconds in the No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota, just nipping Kurt's time of 14.897 seconds.

    Kurt Busch, Jimmie Johnson, Kevin Harvick will start from the back.

    #9 Chase Elliot will loose his crew chief Alan Gustafson, for the next 2 Monster Energy points races.
    Comes with a $50,000 dollar fine and a lose of 20 owner points and 20 driver points

    Seems there was an infraction from last race that had to do with the rear window brace

    Something broke on Harvick's car during prcatice today and ended up in the wall.
    AJ Allmendinger also had a bit of a mishap going into turn #1 and spun around tagging the wall
