KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- Matt Kenseth increased his chances of a victory on Sunday with his pole winning run on Saturday. With a speed of 180.856 -- a new track record -- Kenseth took the top spot from Elliott Sadler to earn his third career pole and his second this season.
Sadler, who was fastest in final practice, qualified second, followed by two-time Kansas winner, Jeff Gordon. Scott Wimmer, who has been impressive here all weekend, will roll off fourth, and Columbia, Missouri native, Carl Edwards, rounds out the top-five.

Denny Hamlin, who is making his NEXTEL Cup Series debut behind the wheel of the No. 11 FedEx Chevrolet, will start seventh -- this after wrecking in qualifying.
