NASCAR star Kyle Larson has been denied Coca Cola 600 pole after Joe Gibbs Racing's Chase Briscoe produced an impressive lap at Charlotte on Saturday evening.

Heading into the final five drivers in the session, William Byron held top spot after setting a lap time of 29.566 seconds in his No. 24 Chevrolet. However, Chase Briscoe soon snatched it away, producing a 29.532 in his No. 19 Toyota.

Following Briscoe's lap, there were only a few drivers to come, but some strong names in the pack, including Kyle Larson. Ultimately, Larson was the driver to come closest to matching Briscoe's time, but fell agonizingly short by just 0.020 seconds in his No. 5 Chevrolet.

Larson has at least guaranteed himself a starting spot on the front row for the race, which he is set to compete in just hours after running in the Indy 500 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway as he attempts the historic 'double'.

Elsewhere at Charlotte, Byron eventually finished third, with Chris Buescher and AJ Allmendinger rounding out the top five.
