This race is the second of the Contender Round-Joey Logano took last week's race, guaranteeing him a slot in the Eliminator portion of the Chase Grid. Busch came in third last week, which is a great way to keep his season alive even if he didn't come out on top.
"We're edging our way to the top, but anything can happen in this game," Busch said. "It's a fickle business. You've got to take things one step at a time."
Grabbing the pole is an excellent start for Busch, who has been consistent all year but paled in comparison to the success of Logano. He set the track record in the second round of qualifying when he ran a 198.771 mph lap.
Logano, who has five victories and 14 Top 5 finishes this season, wasn't his typical self in qualifying and will start 13th; his teammate and fellow qualifying round dominator Brad Keselowski also struggled, and will begin in 17th position.
"We are going to be all right in the race," Logano said. "This track is very much on the razor's edge. It takes just a small mistake or the car being just a little bit off to lose some time. It's fine though. We can see the front of the field and the car was good in race trim."
