Fox: NASCAR tweeted video of Larson's pole-winning run:

Larson now has two poles this season and six on his career, but he has yet to truly find his stride in 2018, as he is 10th in the standings and doesn't have a win.

Also, despite his qualifying success, Larson has struggled at Sonoma over the years with no top-10 finishes and an average finish of 20.2 in four starts.

According to NASCAR.com, Larson said on FS1 after qualifying, "I always qualify good here for some reason, but racing seems to be a struggle."

Martin Truex Jr., who has one career win at Sonoma, will start on the outside of Row 1 next to Larson.

He is the lone Toyota in the top five, as Chevrolet captured four of the top five qualifying positions.

Other previous Sonoma winners starting in the top 10 are Kevin Harvick, Jimmie Johnson and points leader Kyle Busch.

One of Saturday's biggest surprises was rookie William Byron, who qualified eighth. Per Richard Allen of InsideDirtRacing.com, Byron said he benefited from legendary driver Jeff Gordon's tutelage leading up to qualifying:

Byron drives the No. 24 car that Gordon made famous for Hendrick Motorsports.

AJ Allmendinger is another interesting name in the top 10, as he qualified fifth.

While Allmendinger has never won at Sonoma and only has two top-10 finishes at the track, he is a strong road-course driver who has two career Sonoma poles.

His only Cup Series win came on a road course at Watkins Glen in 2014, and he could potentially shake up The Chase by winning Sunday.

Among the biggest disappointments in qualifying was Clint Bowyer, as he will start 19th despite having a Sonoma win to his credit and boasting the best average finish at Sonoma among active drivers.

Kurt Busch and Kasey Kahne are one-time winners at Sonoma as well, and they will start 23rd and 26th, respectively.

The Toyota/Save Mart 350 will go green at 3 p.m. ET on Sunday.
