Jimmie Johnson Wins Bristol Pole

Filed under: Carl Edwards, David Reutimann, Joe Nemechek, Chevrolet, Bristol Motor Speedway, Sprint Cup, Joey Logano, NASCARBRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) -- Jimmie Johnson has won the pole for Saturday night's race at Bristol Motor Speedway, where he will attempt Saturday to duplicate his win in March.

The four-time defending NASCAR champion turned a lap at 123.475 mph in Friday's qualifying to put his Chevrolet on the front row. It was Johnson's first pole of the 2010 season.

"Everybody wants to win here," the Chevrolet driver said. "We all know how hard I fought this track myself, my own demons, whatever it is that we finally got over in the spring to win here. I would love to go out and win again. If not, just have a really solid race."

Johnson bettered Carl Edwards, who earned the second starting spot in a Ford. His hold on the pole was for just a few minutes-Johnson ran his lap two cars after Edwards' attempt.

"I was on it for 15.54 seconds or however long it took Jimmie to run that thing," Edwards said. Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
