Carl Edwards wins New Hampshire pole
Joe Gibbs Racing followed up its strong run at Kentucky with a good showing in qualifying at New Hampshire.
Carl Edwards, who finished fourth Saturday night at Kentucky, will start first for Sunday’s race. Joe Gibbs Racing placed its four cars in the top five at Kentucky. The lone non-JGR driver in the top five was Joey Logano, who finished second. He starts second on Sunday too.
The rest of the JGR crew qualified in the top eight. Kyle Busch, Saturday’s winner, will start fourth. Denny Hamlin will start fifth and Matt Kenseth will start eighth.
David Ragan starts third while Kurt Busch will start sixth and Jimmie Johnson starts seventh.
The one driver that missed the race was Reed Sorenson.
Edwards ran a total of three green flag laps in Sunday’s qualifying; one in each round. Most drivers ran two laps per qualifying run because of the minimal tire falloff at the flat one-mile track.
