Kasey Kahne was fastest in qualifying for NASCAR’s Pocono 500 once again. In a Dodge, Kahne lapped the 2.5-mile tri-oval in 52.87 seconds at 170.219 mph to capture his first pole of the season and 15th career.
Now Kahne hopes to parlay it into his second Sprint Cup Series win of the season.
Kahne snapped a 52-race winless streak two weeks ago in the Coca-Cola 600, which came eight days after he scored a $1 million payday by winning the All-Star race. Still riding that momentum, Kahne hopes to parlay his front row starting spot into his second points win of the season.
Kyle Busch, who will attempt to become the first driver in NASCAR history to race in all three national series at three different tracks on the same weekend, qualified 10th and hopped on a plane headed for the Truck Series race at Texas Motor Speedway.
