Ryan Blaney got the better of Team Penske teammate Austin Cindric by .002 seconds to score the pole for Sundays NASCAR Cup Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

It was Blaneys 11th career pole position and his first of the season.

Blaney led a Ford-heavy final round, which featured nine in total out of the 10 spots available in the chase for pole position.

Thats a really cool effort by the whole 12 boys, Blaney said. The BodyArmor Zero Sugar Ford Mustang was really good. It drove great. I think we got the 2 by like two one thousandths of a second, so that was close. I think it just shows the speed in all of our cars the Penske cars, the 21 is fast as well and also big props to everybody back home and everybody who is here Roush Yates Engines.

Hopefully, it carries over into tomorrow. Hopefully, they drive well, so it seems to be like we have a pretty decent handle on this place, but you still never know going into the race. Its a cool day today and looking forward to hopefully keeping all four of us up there tomorrow.

Behind the Team Penske front row was Josh Berry and the Wood Brothers Racing No. 21 Ford, who shares a technical alliance with Penske.

Defending Cup Series champion Joey Logano starts fourth while Front Row Motorsports Todd Gilliland completed the top five.

The lone non-Ford in the top 10 was Richard Childress Racings Kyle Busch, who starts sixth. FRM had all three cars in the top 10 with Zane Smith (seventh) and Noah Gragson (10th).

RFK Racing drivers Chris Buescher (eighth) and Brad Keselowski (ninth) completed the top 10.

Bubba Wallace was the fastest Toyota driver in 14th for 23XI Racing. Teammate Tyler Reddick (18th) was the only other Toyota inside the top 20.

Daytona 500 winner William Byron starts 16th aboard the famed No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet.

Its not often compliments are handed out between fellow NASCAR Cup Series drivers.

With high-stakes competition and an often-selfish mindset to win races for themselves and their team, those kind words are few and far between.

However, Austin Cindric received high praise from one of NASCARs top drivers Denny Hamlin.

On Hamlins podcast, Actions Detrimental, the driver of the No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota spoke about Cindrics precise moves on drafting tracks, including last weeks Daytona 500.

Lets speak realistically, Hamlin began. Is this probably one of Cindrics best chances to win this year? Yeah. But do you see him making erratic, crazy blocks? No.

I think thats why, I said on this podcast last week if I didnt win, who would I think was gonna win? Austin Cindric. You can see that he is on another level mentally. But, Austin Cindric is just a guy I felt very confident in racing for the win against.

Not that I was going to get the best of him, but it was like, Oh Im gonna have a fair race here.

He knows what hes doing, I know what Im doing, this is going to be a good show.

Hamlin and Cindric were racing head-to-head for the lead on the final lap of the Great American Race at Daytona (Fla.) Intl Speedway until a crash triggered by Cole Custer ended both drivers chances of winning.

When asked about Hamlins compliment on Saturday at Atlanta Motor Speedway, Cindric described it as special.

For me, it is a very high compliment, Cindric said. It is not often times you get to earn the respect but also hear the level of respect your competitors have for you. As superspeedway racing goes, Denny has been one of the best for the last couple of decades.

For him to have a high opinion like that is pretty cool. I think that is what made the end of the race significant and special to me.

The driver of the No. 2 Team Penske Ford finished eighth last week as he heads to Atlanta eying his third career victory.

With such high praise from a three-time Daytona 500 winner such as Hamlin, what makes Cindric so good on superspeedway race tracks?

He claims its a mixture of a stout race car and preparation.

I think I could plead the Fifth and just just say that I have a fast race car every time; because I do, Cindric said. I feel confident that we can contend for the pole today and contend for the win tomorrow. But I think they are all different. I think if you expect yourself to contend every time we go to a drafting track, I feel like you have to prepare.

The process I have refined for myself over the years is very solid. I dont know if it is the best or not, hard to say, but I put a lot of work in. Usually those are the types of tracks that require that type of work.

Cindric qualified second on Saturday as teammate Ryan Blaney notched the pole for Sundays Ambetter Health 400.

HAMPTON, Ga. With seven previous NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Atlanta Motor Speedway trophies already on his mantle, Kyle Busch was obviously the odds-on favorite for Saturdays Fr8 Racing 208. And the veteran absolutely did not disappoint.

Pulling ahead of Stewart Friesen about 20 yards from the finish line, Buschs No. 7 Spire Motorsports Chevrolet held on for a slight .017-second win as the two passed side-by-side under the checkered flag. It was Buschs record eighth series victory at the track. He led a race high 80 of the 135 laps but, definitely earned his hardware this weekend with a half dozen trucks going door-to-door with the two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion in the closing 20 laps.

Awesome run for this Spire Chevrolet and everybody at [sponsor] Gainbridge, Busch said, thanking the fans in the grandstands for coming out in the cloudy 50-degree Atlanta weather.

Just trying to make sure I stayed as far forward as I possibly could, Busch said of how he held off the field in the closing laps Those guys would cycle to me and get to the next one in front, next one in front of me and I just made sure to keep battling back and got back to the front so I could control it the best I could. That inside [lane] was good, they were rolling forward so it made for a heck of a race.

Im proud we had a heck of a race there to the finish and it wasnt single file. There was some mixing it up for these fans out here to see a cool show.

As elated as Busch was in claiming his record 67th NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series win and record 232nd national series win Friesen could only muster a slight smile conceding he gave it his best in the thrilling finish.

Just proud of my race team here, the Canadian owner-driver of the No. 52 Halmer-Friesen Toyota said. We had a shot. This is my favorite truck and well keep digging with it. We had a shot and I guess I got too far off my help there coming off the back on my last lap. I thought I could pack some more air on him coming out of three and surge ahead, but just had the surge at the wrong time and he came back.

With Busch and Friesen ultimately the pair fighting for the checkered flag, Tyler Ankrum and Bailey Curry crossed the finish line side-by-side just behind, a mere .001-second separating the two. Georgia native Chandler Smith finished fifth. All of these drivers giving Busch a challenge in those last laps.

Kaden Honeycutt, two-time series champion Ben Rhodes, reigning series champion Ty Majeski, Jake Garcia and Grant Enfinger rounded out the top-10 in a race that saw 19 lead changes among 11 drivers and only a pair of caution flags beyond the scheduled stage breaks.

Of note, championship favorite Corey Heim ran out of gas running third a single lap before the Stage 2 break and was never able to make up the three laps he lost to that, finishing 23rd. It was also a rough ending for 25-year old rookie Connor Mosack, who earned his first series pole position and led 30 laps, but was involved in a late race incident and finished 25th.

Jack Wood won the opening stage and Busch claimed the second stage win. Giovanni Ruggiero was the top finishing rookie in 11th place. Tanner Gray earned an additional championship point for claiming the Fastest Lap Bonus.
