Blaney spun in Saturday morning practice and contact with the wall left a scratch on the back of the No. “I wouldn’t have thought we’d sit on the pole after I hit the fence,” Blaney said while praising NASCAR's new Next Gen racecar for its durability. “I appreciate the soft wall that was over there and the resilient race car.”Daniel Suarez qualified second alongside Blaney in a Chevrolet for Trackhouse Racing. Sunday's race at COTA is NASCAR's second appearance at the permanent road course best known for its annual Formula One race.
