Avondale, AZ — Jeff Gordon followed up his field-leading Cup practice session on Friday by winning the pole for Sunday’s Checker Auto Parts 500.
Gordon posted a qualifying lap of 26.773 at a speed of 134.464 miles per hour.
Also in the top five were Kevin Harvick, Brian Vickers, Dale Earnhardt, Jr., and Joe Nemechek. The Top 5 qualifiers were all in Chevrolets.
“It’s been a spectacular week,” said Gordon, who was married in a private ceremony earlier in the week to model Ingrid Vandebosch. “The guys brought a great race car and it’s been good all day.”
Kyle Busch and Matt Kenseth are the only other Chase competitors starting Sunday’s race in the Top 10. Kenseth, with a late draw, qualified 10th to put himself in strong position for Sunday’s event. Jimmie Johnson, who currently leads Kenseth in the standing by 17 points, went out first in qualifying and wound up a disappointing 29th.
Do you want the chance to win a free Frontstretch T-Shirt, and are you really good at talking about NASCAR? Well, we have the perfect opportunity for you. Our staff will be giving away a free T-Shirt to the reader who makes the best post in our Frontstretch Forum between now and the end of the season. So, what makes a good post? It’s pretty hard to impress us, but here are some things we are looking for:
Does your post spark passionate reactions from other readers? Are you commenting on meaningful NASCAR-related events? Do your posts have substance? In other words, “Dale Jr. is the best driver ever” or “Danica Patrick is hot” will not cut it.
So go to the Frontstretch Forums, post early, post often, and post well! We’ll announce the winner following the final race of the season at Homestead.
