Dover, DE. - RIS - Darrell Wallace, Jr. wins the Coors Light Pole for the 34th Annual Buckle Up 200 presented by Click It or Ticket. His lap of 23.378 second on the Monster Mile sets his speed at 153.991 mph. It also sets him up for a great run. This pole will be his second in 18 NASCAR Xfinity Series events. He brings the #6 Ford EcoBoost Ford to the front for the start.

On the 2015 season it is Wallace’s single pole for the year, but his sixth top-10 start. As it may be his second pole it is his second here on the Monster Mile so he knows what it takes to get the job done for sure. Look for Darrell to be knocking on the door of Miles Trophy as he progresses through those two hundred, hot, exciting, and fast miles.

Roush Racing sets the pace as there will be teammates sitting on the front row when the Green drops at Dover International Speedway. Chris Buescher was breathing on Wallace’s neck the entire Pole run and his 23.394 seconds made him very close. His speed 153.886 mph is really an eye blink behind. So Buescher will be setting outside Wallace in the #60 Roush Performance Products Ford.

See you at the track.
