Bubba Wallace notched his first career pole for Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series race in Michigan.

He earned the spot with a lap of 190.703 mph in the final round. Wallace was the only driver to break 190 mph in the qualifying session.

"About time," Wallace said, via NASCAR.com. "It took me five years to get my first pole. It’s a testament to 23XI, everybody on the No. 23 team. 

"They’ve been doing a tremendous job all year long, really. Just haven’t had the finishes we deserve, but proud for everybody just sticking through it. A lot of adversity on this team, and we keep showing up ready to battle."
