​Ryan Blaney will start on the pole for the Quaker State 400 NASCAR Cup Series race at EchoPark Speedway on July 12. Blaney posted a lap of 30.815 seconds, a half-tenth faster than his Penske teammate Joey Logano in the second round of qualifying on July 11, as Penske swept the front row. No Toyota drivers finished inside the top 10, as the manufacturer’s teams focused on race setup and handling rather than raw qualifying speed in preparation for the race.
