Joe Gibbs Racing continued its domination of Xfinity Series qualifying Saturday afternoon at Texas Motor Speedway as Kyle Busch, Erik Jones, and Daniel Suárez took the top three spots for the O’Reilly Auto Parts 300.

Busch won his 51st pole in 316 Xfinity Series starts, his fourth at TMS and third of the season. The two other times Busch started from the pole, he wound up in victory lane, and with his record at the Great American Speedway, that trend could well continue.

Jones and Suárez each have started in the top ten every race this season.

Chip Ganassi Racing’s Kyle Larson rolls off fourth, and teammate Brennan Poole, from The Woodlands, Texas, starts fifth.

The 20th Annual O’Reilly Auto Parts 300 starts at 7:30 PM Central Time. Tune in to FS1, SiriusXM NASCAR Channel 90, or the PRN Network to see if anyone can stop the JGR juggernaut.
