Who won the 2024 Goodyear 400 pole?Tyler Reddick won the Goodyear 400 pole, so he’ll lineup first in Sunday’s race. His best time was 28.906 seconds at a speed of 170.124 miles per hour.

Reddick, a Toyota driver, beat out Brad Keselowski (Ford) and Chris Buescher (Ford) for the top spot. Ford drivers are still vying for their first Cup Series win in 2024. They’ll have the No. 2 and No. 3 spots with Keselowski and Buescher.

Buescher came awfully close to winning the AdventHealth 400,
falling short by 0.001 seconds to Larson
