NASCAR lineup at Road America: Starting order, pole for Kwik Trip 250 based on qualifying

The grid for the Kwik Trip 250 at Road America is set, and last year's winner will be starting from the pole position.

Chase Elliott looked outstanding in Saturday's qualifying, edging out Chase Briscoe for the top spot.

Elliott, the 2020 Cup Series champion and the current series points leader (by five over Ross Chastain), will look to make it back-to-back wins Sunday. He won the Ally 400 at Nashville Superspeedway last weekend.

If Elliott can use his position to its fullest potential Sunday, he may be able to build a bit of a cushion in the standings.
