LOUDON, N.H. (AP) — Juan Pablo Montoya turned a lap of 132.337 mph and has won the pole at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
Kasey Kahne was second and Kurt Busch third in Friday’s qualifying.
Montoya won his first pole of the season after taking two last season. He set a track record at New Hampshire last September to win the pole and parlayed that into a third-place finish.
Mark Martin was fourth and Ryan Newman fifth for Sunday’s race.
