LONG POND — Kyle Busch won the pole Friday for Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Windows 10 400 at Pocono Raceway.

Kevin Harvick took second followed by Joey Logano, Austin Dillion and Tony Stewart. Rounding out the top 10 were Kurt Busch, Matt Kenseth, Carl Edwards, Brad Keselowski and Jeff Gordon.

Martin Truex Jr., winner of the June race, and Dale Earnhardt Jr., who won both races in 2014, were both bumped in the second 10-minute segment. Truex scraped the wall coming out of turn three. He’ll start 13th. Earnhardt will start 15th.

Two notables failed to make it out of the first round of qualifying where the pole hopefuls were cut to 24. Greg Biffle will start 25th and Kyle Larson will start 27th.
