LONG POND, Pa. (AP) — Joey Logano has won the pole at Pocono Raceway.

Logano turned a lap of 172.055 mph Saturday to win his second pole of the season. There was speculation Logano would have been replaced in the No. 20 had Carl Edwards decided to join Joe Gibbs Racing. Instead, Edwards stayed with Roush Fenway Racing and Logano appears secure in his car.

More days like Saturday surely help build some confidence.

Kasey Kahne joins him on the front row for Sunday’s race. Martin Truex Jr., Edwards and Kurt Busch round out the top five. Busch won the pole at Pocono in June.
