Double pole day for Busch at Richmond

Autoracing Betting Lines

04/30/2010 - Richmond, VA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kyle Busch capped off a perfect afternoon on Friday at Richmond International Raceway after winning the pole for Saturday's Crown Royal 400.

Busch, who also won the pole for today's Nationwide Series race here earlier in the day, turned a lap of 127.077 m.p.h. for his first Cup pole at Richmond and the sixth of his career. His last one came in March 2009 at his hometrack in Las Vegas.

"We had great race car in practice," said Busch, who posted the fastest speed in final practice. "[Crew chief] Dave [Rogers] and the guys did a really awesome job on the car, and I'm really proud to put this [Toyota] Camry on the pole for the first time for me. I generally don't win that many poles. It's my first time here at Richmond, but I'm looking forward to it. I think we've got a pretty good race car."

Busch won last year's spring race at Richmond on the same day he celebrated his 24th birthday. He became the second driver to win a Cup race on his birthday. Cale Yarborough won the spring event at Atlanta the same day he turned 43 years old on March 27, 1983. Busch also won the Nationwide race here one year ago for a weekend sweep.

David Reutimann qualified 0.87 seconds behind Busch to claim the outside pole. It's the first time Toyota has been on the front starting row for a Cup race since last July at Chicagoland.

Hendrick Motorsports teammates Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon will start alongside each other on the second row. Both drivers have said they've cleared the air since their highly-publicized run-ins the past two weeks at Talladega and Texas.

"We'll have a lot of fun out there racing with [Johnson] like we have been," Gordon said.

Johnson currently holds a 26-point lead over last weekend's Talladega winner Kevin Harvick, who will start seventh at Richmond.

"I am really pleased with the qualifying effort," said Johnson, who will start third. "We struggled in practice, and it seems a lot of guys were struggling. We couldn't produce a lap time like my teammates were. At the end of practice, we found a couple of little things that gave us hope. When Kyle [Busch] ran his lap, we decided to get up on the wheel and hustle the car around the track."

Ryan Newman qualified fifth, and Brad Keselowski took the sixth spot.

Jamie McMurray, Brian Vickers and Clint Bowyer completed the top-10.

Michael McDowell, Max Papis and Dave Blaney failed to qualify.

Saturday's 400-lap race at Richmond is scheduled to start around 7:30 p.m. (et).
