NASCAR Kansas 2016: Lineup, starting grid for Go Bowling 400

Martin Truex, Jr. has the pole position on Saturday night in the Go Bowling 400, with the NASCAR Sprint Cup season shifting to Kansas Speedway in Kansas City.

With a top qualifying speed of 190.921 mph on Friday, Truex captured the pole position for Saturday, looking for his first victory and second top-five finish this season. Truex opened the year finishing second in the Daytona 500, but hasn’t placed higher than sixth place since.

Still, he enters Saturday night ninth in points on the season.

Matt Kenseth, 15th in points and also looking for his first 2016 win, starts in second position.

Points leader Kevin Harvick, who finished 15th last week in Talladega, starts in 26th position on Saturday night.

Fox Sports 1 will televise the race from Kansas City beginning at 7:30 p.m. ET, with Mike Joy on play-by-play alongside analysts Jeff Gordon and Darrell Waltrip, plus Larry McReynolds, Jamie Little, Vince Welch and Matt Yocum on the coverage as well.
