Clint Bowyer: Wins All Star Race Pole

Bowyer won the pole for the Monster Energy All Star Race at Charlotte Motor Speedway Friday evening. He turned 3 laps and a four-tire pit stop in 118.794 seconds.

Analysis:

Bowyer is not known for his prowess winning poles, but this unique format played right into his hands. He was flawless, and the team executed a great four-tire pit stop to put him ahead of Kyle Busch by just 0.177 seconds. The No. 14 Stewart Haas Racing Ford will roll off first on the grid Saturday night in the 85-lap All Star Race. Bowyer should be a strong contender to win his first-ever All Star Race victory.
