Briscoe Wins Pole for 2025 Coca-Cola 600

Chase Briscoe won the pole position for the 2025 Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway with a lap speed of 182.852 mph, making it his second pole of the season after the Daytona 500. Kyle Larson will start second as he attempts to complete both the Indianapolis 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 in one day, a rare feat in motorsports. William Byron, Chris Buescher, and AJ Allmendinger complete the top five starters, while Jimmie Johnson marks his 700th Cup start from 17th position. The qualifying session was notable for Carson Hocevar spinning and Ross Chastain crashing in practice, requiring Chastain to start at the rear. Briscoe highlighted the strategic advantage of starting on the pole, particularly with clean air and pit stall selection. The Coca-Cola 600 will be the first NASCAR Cup Series race broadcast by Prime Video.
