NASCAR Qualifying Results: Kyle Larson BEATEN to Bristol pole as Cup Series champion suffers nightmare

Qualifying ahead of the 2025 Food City 500 is complete and it's Hendrick Motorsports star Alex Bowman set to start on pole position.

Kyle Larson may have wrapped up pole in the Xfinity Series earlier in the day, but his Hendrick team-mate was the star of the show in Cup Series qualifying at Bristol Motor Speedway, edging Ricky Stenhouse Jr in second and Larson in third.

Last week's race winner Denny Hamlin didn't do too badly this afternoon, either, earning himself fourth and a spot on the second row, with Ryan Blaney rounding out the top five.

Whilst some excelled, others made mistakes, with reigning NASCAR champion Joey Logano being the most notable of them all.

Logano touched the inside of the apron on one of his qualifying laps and got way out of shape, crashing into the wall as a result and causing damage to his right rear.

As a result of his error, Logano will start Sunday's race in P38, with lots of work to do.

With that said, let's take a look at the results in full and how the stars will line up on Sunday.
