Carl Edwards is on quite a roll.
Bristol Motor Speedway Qualifying Results: Carl Edwards Wins Jeff Byrd 500 Pole
Edwards, the most recent NASCAR race winner, picked up his second pole of the young Sprint Cup Series season on Friday afternoon, taking the top spot in qualifying at Bristol Motor Speedway.
The Roush Fenway Racing driver will head the starting lineup, ahead of teammate Greg Biffle in an all-Roush front row.
“It’s unreal,” Edwards said of his recent hot streak, which includes three wins and a runner-up finish in his last five races dating back to last season. “I hope this keeps going. This is fun!”
Regan Smith had a career-best qualifying effort and will start third, ahead of Paul Menard and another Roush driver – David Ragan.
Hendrick Motorsports teammates Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon were next, followed by Martin Truex Jr., Mark Martin and Kasey Kahne.
