<p>CONCORD, N.C. &mdash; Hendrick Motorsports’ quest to pass Petty Enterprises as the NASCAR Cup Series race team with the most wins all-time got off to a good start on Saturday as Kyle Larson captured the pole for the Coca-Cola 600, with two of his teammates starting in the row behind him.</p>
<p>Ricky Stenhouse will start second, followed by Hendrick teammates Chase Elliott and William Byron. Chevrolets dominated qualifying by taking six of the top seven spots for NASCAR’s longest race, a grueling 400-lap marathon at Charlotte Motor Speedway.</p>
<p>Car owner Rick Hendrick’s other driver, Alex Bowman, will start seventh.</p>
<p>Hendrick Motorsports is tied with Petty Enterprises with 268 Cup Series wins.</p>
<p>Larson captured his first pole since June 2019 at Sonoma with a lap of 180.282 mph, narrowly edging Stenhouse in the one-lap qualifying by .07 seconds.</p>
<p>“It’s really cool for the Chevys,” Larson said. “There are lot of Chevys up toward the front of the field.”</p>
<p>Elliott is going for back-to-back victories after capturing last week’s rain-shortened race at Circuit of The Americas for his first win of the season.</p>
