At the end of last weekend's scheduled in Texas, Blaney finished second, opting to restart on the inside behind leader Kyle Larson. This gave Michael McDowell the front row exterior.
McDowell passed Larson shortly after being cautious. Blaney is second and has to restart outside, but it is not possible to secure a lead in the last two restarts against McDowell or Joey Logano.

"It was just the driver making stupid decisions without doing his job. I thank the team. Today's 12 cars are a fast car. I can't do anything right at the moment. Hopefully it works."
