Joey Logano wins pole for SpongeBob 400
KANSAS CITY, Kan. – Joey Logano is starting first once again.
The Team Penske driver got his fourth pole of the first 11 races on Friday at Kansas Speedway for Saturday night’s SpongeBob SquarePants 400. His lap of 192.397 MPH was faster than Kasey Kahne, who qualified second.
Logano was the only driver to break the 192 MPH barrier in the last round of qualifying. He also won October’s race at Kansas Speedway, the last time a driver not named Kevin Harvick or Jimmie Johnson won a race at a 1.5-mile track.
Logano’s teammate Brad Keselowski will start third while Martin Truex Jr. starts fourth and Carl Edwards starts fifth.
Logano got the pole at the second race of the season at Atlanta and also won the pole at Martinsville and Richmond. The pole at Kansas is the 12th of his career.
Kevin Harvick, Greg Biffle, Kurt Busch, Jamie McMurray and Kyle Larson round out the top 10. The only driver to miss the race was Brendan Gaughan.
