Kasey Kahne won on Friday the NASCAR pole for Saturday's running of the Sharpie 500 Nextel Cup race at the Bristol Motor Speedway. Kahne circled the half-mile oval in only 16.016 seconds, with Juan Pablo Montoya turning in a lap of 16.064 to finish second.
There were 30 drivers within 2/10 second of each other. Kahne is seeking his first victory of the year after winning six times last year.
Jamie McMurray and David Ragan finished third and fourth. Points' leader Jeff Gordon was 18th.
Kahne, who began racing at the age 14 in a Micro Midget, won four races in his first-ever season of competition. He was named the USAC Driver of the Year and Silver Bullet Series Rookie of the Year.
