Loudon, NH (My Sportsbook) - Joey Logano won his third straight Nationwide Series pole Saturday after turning in the fastest qualifying lap for the Camping World RV Sales 200 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Logano rounded the 1.058-mile track at 128.902 m.p.h. (29.548 seconds) in his No.20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota to become the first driver to win three consecutive poles in the series since Jeff Gordon did it in 1992. "I thought I screwed up, but still had a really good lap," Logano said. Logano will attempt to become the 23rd different driver to win at New Hampshire in NASCAR's second-tier series. Tony Stewart drove the No.20 JGR car to victory here one year ago, becoming the 22nd different winner in as many Nationwide races. Carl Edwards grabbed the outside pole after recording a lap at 128.597 m.p.h. (29.618 seconds). Clint Bowyer will start third, followed by Scott Speed and Kevin Harvick, who won here in 2007. Greg Biffle, Brad Keselowski, Brian Vickers, points leader Kyle Busch and Mike Bliss will roll off sixth through 10th, respectively. Justin Hobgood, Morgan Shepherd, Kertus Davis and Mike Wallace failed to qualify. Today's race is scheduled to start around 3:00 p.m. (et). |
