| Kasey Kahne is the 26th Time in his Sprint Cup career pole |
Kasey Kahne was the fastest rider in qualifying for the 32nd Round of the Sprint Cup Series at the Kansas Speedway. On the newly resurfaced 1.5 miles long D-oval all 46 starters remained under the old course record. Kahne scored at Hendrick Chevrolet his fourth pole of the season with a time of 28,219 seconds and was about 0018 seconds faster than Mark Martin in the Waltrip-Toyota.
Kahne will start at 26 Times from top spot
It was Kahne's third pole at the eleventh starting on the oval at Kansas City. Kahne has won on this track so far. Second place was exactly one year ago his best result. With Kahne and Martin's two best qualifier of the season are in the front row.
Third was Clint Bowyer, who last weekend celebrated his second victory of the season. For the fourth consecutive Bowyer will start from the first two rows. From fourth place Kyle Busch goes into the sixth of ten Chase race for the 2012 title. Here are Aric Almirola and Ryan Newman before Jimmie Johnson and Joey Logano. Denny Hamlin, who won the last race in April 2012 for Kansas and Kevin Harvick round out the top-10 in Kansas.
Brad Keselowski will start only from rank 25
Brad Keselowski and Tony Stewart are once again faced a comeback
Thus, with Kahne, Bowyer, Johnson, Hamlin and Harvick are only five of the twelve chasers in the top-10. The pole-sitter Greg Biffle had to settle for eleventh. His teammate Matt Kenseth also starts from the sixth row. The next Chaser Martin Truex Junior in position 16 before Jeff Gordon going from 19th place in the race for 267 laps.
Leader Brad Keselowski and Tony Stewart were defending like last week, the slowest contender and took only the starting positions 25 and 33 Danica Patrick is due to an engine change from 43rd and last place in their eighth Sprint Cup race. Your lap time would have foreseen only for the 40th Place enough. Cole Whitt, David Stremme and Josh Wise did not make the qualifying hurdle and have to watch on Sunday.
