Today at 1:00 p.m. ET on Fox at Pocono Raceway, the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series will resume at the Dover grid where Brad Keselowski unsurprisingly will lead the way after winning his second pole of the season with a track-record lap of 164.444 mph.

"It's been a good year for qualifying," Keselowski said. "And I would say most years, that has not been the case." He’s being a bit modest, as this pole marks the eighth time he has been in the first or second position.

While Keselowski and teammate Joey Logano have clearly taken to NASCAR’s new qualifying system from Day 1, he credited Ford for great cars that allowed him to capitalize on his already improving efforts. "I don't think we were far off before, we just needed those little pieces that were outside of our control to be evened up," he said. "I feel like that is the case now and we are where we should be."

Taking down Kyle Busch, who will start in second position, will be a tall task as he goes for a full weekend sweep at Dover. Busch came in first in the Truck Series on Friday, then won the Nationwide Series race yesterday.

"I do it for the pure love of the sport and just wanting to be out there," Busch said. "I'll keep doing it as long as we can do it." History isn’t smiling down on his attempt—he’s just 1-for-8 in races where a sweep is possible. "It seems like the last one is always the hardest one," he said. "That's due to just the competition."
