Michael McDowell is on the pole for Sunday’s Pennzoil 400 NASCAR Cup Series race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
McDowell’s lap of 28.883 seconds was a hundredth of a second better than Joey Logano.
Ryan Blaney crashed in practice with a cut tire, suffering damage to the rear of his car via a spin in turn 2. But the No. 12 Penske team planned to fix the damage to avoid going to a backup car, according to the Amazon Prime broadcast of practice, and will start last on Sunday.
