Chase Elliott may be finding his groove.

One week after taking home his first win of the year at Talladega Superspeedway, Elliott won his second pole of the year at The Monster Mile at Dover International Speedway.

Elliott is in great position to get his second career win at the track and he certainly loves racing there with five career top-5 finishes in Dover.

William Byron will start second and Kyle Larson will be third.

Kyle Busch had a bit of a rough day qualifying 22nd.

The Gander RV 400 can be seen Sunday at 2 p.m. ET on Fox.
 
Estimated green flag 2:10 Eastern

WEATHER: Questionable. The Weather Channel is calling for rain Sunday morning, gradually tailing off in the afternoon hours. Temperatures are only expected to hit the high 50s.

I have to step out, so if the race starts sometime in the next hour or so, please post the green flag. I already have the submitted entries in the spreadsheet, only one I'm waiting for is crazed.
