Kyle Busch Stays Hot At Indy By Taking Brickyard 400 Pole

Busch, the defending race winner, had the fastest lap in the third and final round of qualifying, just ahead of Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Carl Edwards. On Saturday, Busch won his second straight Lilly Diabetes 250 pole, posted the fastest lap in each of the final two qualifying rounds for the Brickyard and then won the first heat of the Xfinity series race. Four-time race winner Jimmie Johnson did it in 2008 and 2009 though the first win in that sequence came during the tire fiasco that forced caution flags to come out every 10 or 11 laps. JGR also has built up some momentum after Matt Kenseth won last week's race at New Hampshire and Denny Hamlin qualified fourth, giving his team three of the top four spots on the starting grid. Team owner Rick Hendrick hasn't had a car finish in the top three in four consecutive races. Team owner Roger Penske, still trying to win his first Brickyard 400, has two cars in the top 15.
