The 22-year-old Hocevar is the youngest pole winner ever at Texas Motor Speedway, which will host its 45th Cup race on Sunday. The Spire Motorsports driver, making his 56th career Cup, is on the front row with Cup points leader William Byron, also in a Chevrolet.

Carson Hocevar was the fastest in practice and followed it by winning his first career Cup pole Saturday at Texas Motor Speedway. "I'm excited to be able to lead my first-ever Cup race to the green," the 22-year-old Hocevar told Prime after claiming the pole.

For the second straight week, a first-time NASCAR Cup Series pole winner will lead the field to the green flag.
