BROOKLYN, Mich. -- Kasey Kahne will lead the field to green on Sunday for the first time this season.
“Our Great Clips (Chevrolet SS) had speed all three runs, so I knew we’d have a shot today,” Kahne said. “It has been a while since I’ve had a pole.”
Kahne’s last pole position came in 2012, when he earned four.
Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson also made it to the final round of qualifying.
Starting behind pole-sitter Kahne, Gordon will roll his No. 24 Panasonic Chevrolet SS off the grid sixth on Sunday. And when the green flag drops, Johnson will start eighth in his No. 48 Lowe’s/Kobalt Tools Chevrolet SS.
After just missing the final round, Dale Earnhardt Jr. will start the race from the 14th position in his No. 88 AMP Energy Chevrolet SS.
