Joey Logano and the No.22 AAA Insurance Ford Fusion led the Team Penske qualifying effort on Friday as he will start second in the 5-Hour Energy 400 at Kansas Speedway.
Logano, who has made more appearances in the final round of “knockout” qualifying than any other NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver this season, once again put up a solid showing in this Friday’s three-segment qualifying.
“We have another good AAA Insurance Fusion this weekend,” said Logano. “Like Brad, we were able to pick up speed every time. We made the right adjustments and I feel like my car, through Turns 1 and 2 on the third session was really good. I talked about in the second session how I could drive in a car length deeper and apparently I couldn’t. That blew up in my face. I got tight and wasn’t able to hold the speed to get the pole. Overall it is a good starting spot and we are qualifying well. If you count out the restrictor plate stuff we are still the only car to make it through every session and we are proud of that and ready to go for another win.”
The 5-Hour Energy 400 will be broadcast live tomorrow on FOX at 7:00 p.m. ET and on MRN, Sirius XM Ch. 90.
