Ryan Blaney Leads Fords in Atlanta Cup Qualifying
Ryan Blaney secured the pole position for the NASCAR Cup Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway, leading a strong performance by Ford, which claimed 10 of the top 11 qualifying spots. Blaney's pole, his 11th career first-place start, was achieved with a lap of 179.371 mph, narrowly ahead of teammate Austin Cindric. Team Penske dominated the top positions, with Josh Berry and Joey Logano also starting in the top four, illustrating Ford's resurgence not seen since 1993. Kyle Busch was the only non-Ford in the top six, qualifying in sixth place with his Chevrolet. Odds favor Blaney and Team Penske for the Ambetter Health 400, but others like Kyle Busch and Daniel Suarez provide competitive threats. The race, scheduled to start at 3:19 p.m. ET on Sunday, will test drivers under NASCAR's horsepower restrictions designed to keep speeds in check at high-speed tracks like Atlanta.
