#12-Ryan Newman won the Budweiser Pole for the Pocono 500 at Pocono Raceway with a speed of 170.062mph for his 3rd pole in a row, his 4th pole of the year, and the 41st of his career. Newman has only won three races in the 40 races which he won the pole.

#11-Hamlin qualified second, followed by #1-Truex Jr., #5-Kyle Busch, #07-Bowyer, #20-Stewart, #48-Johnson, #9-Kahne, #83-Vickers, and #31-Burton. All 2007 Rookies made the race.

Failing to qualify were: #55-Waltrip, #78-Wallace, #36-Mayfield, #37-Lepage, #44-Jarrett, and #49-Bliss.

Denny Hamlin is looking for his third consecutive Pocono race win this weekend. He swept both races at the track last year in his rookie season with Joe Gibbs Racing and FedEx. Every day is race day!!!

Denny Hamlin will join Ryan on the front row....and we remember what he did here last year.

Martin Truex Jr (3rd) has his career-best starting spot this week. His previous best was 5th at California last September.

Kyle Busch (4th) has his best starting spot since he lined up 3rd at Homestead last November.

Brian Vickers (9th) has his best starting spot since he qualified 6th at Homestead last November.

Welcome Chad McCumbee (35th). He'll be filling the 45 seat (and makes his first ever Cup start) while Kyle Petty moves to the TNT booth.

STREAKIN....Denny Hamlin has 9 Top-10's in the last 10 races.

Kasey Kahne has 4 Top-10's in the last 5 races
