### Van Gisbergen Focuses on Clean Racing Ahead of Charlotte Motor Speedway Roval

Shane van Gisbergen emphasized the importance of clean racing as he prepares to compete at the Charlotte Motor Speedway Roval. "I have to respect there's a lot of playoff guys around me. I have to race respectfully. But we're here to win the race. Hopefully, we have a good day," van Gisbergen remarked. His approach highlights the balance between competitive drive and sportsmanship amidst a critical race.

Tyler Reddick showcased resilience by securing the second qualifying position after a stumble in practice. Spinning out on the front stretch, Reddick caused a red flag due to his No. 45 Toyota failing to refire. Nevertheless, he managed to rebound impressively in the subsequent qualifying rounds.

A.J. Allmendinger, teammate of van Gisbergen, clinched the third qualifying spot, demonstrating the strength of their team heading into the race. Notably, six of the twelve remaining playoff drivers qualified in the top 10: Reddick, Joey Logano (fourth), Austin Cindric (fifth), Kyle Larson (sixth), Chase Elliott (seventh), and William Byron (tenth).

Unfortunately, six other playoff drivers could not make it to the final round of qualifying. Christopher Bell will start in the 12th position, Daniel Suarez in 13th, Alex Bowman in 17th, Chase Briscoe in 25th, Ryan Blaney in 14th, and Denny Hamlin in 18th.

As the race day approaches, the starting lineup is set, promising an intense and competitive event at the Roval. The drivers' performances in this race could play a crucial role in their playoff standings, making clean and strategic racing all the more critical.
