FONTANA, Calif. — Austin Dillon won the pole for the NASCAR Cup Series race in Auto Club Speedway on Friday after no drivers completed a lap in the final round of qualifying. Dillon got his fourth career pole essentially by default after a bizarre scene that left fans booing the drivers. Dillon got the pole for turning the fastest lap in the previous session in his Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet. “I’m happy for our team to get the pole that no one ever ran a lap for in qualifying,” Dillon said with a laugh. “We don’t want to go back to single-car qualifying, but there may not be another way,” Miller said.
