Michael McDowell won the pole for the 2024 Quaker State 400 at Atlanta this weekend. Ryan Blaney will join McDowell on the front row for Sunday afternoon’s event. It is McDowell’s fifth pole position of the 2024 NASCAR season.

Todd Gilliland and Josh Berry will follow the two drivers on the second row. Most notably, Ty Gibbs, Martin Truex Jr., Tyler Reddick, Bubba Wallace, Christopher Bell, Daniel Suarez, and Denny Hamlin all qualified 20th or worse for Saturday’s event.
