Kevin Harvick wins pole at Pocono
Kevin Harvick got his first win of the season on Sunday. On Saturday, he got his fourth pole of 2019.
Harvick posted the fastest lap during qualifying at Pocono on Saturday and will start on the pole for Sunday’s race. He edged out Joey Logano for the top spot. Harvick’s teammate Aric Almirola will start third.
Crazily enough, none of Harvick’s 46 career wins have come at Pocono. Harvick is winless in 37 career starts at the 2.5-mile track.
Erik Jones will start fourth and Austin Dillon will start fifth. This starting lineup is provisional, of course. Technical inspection for Sunday’s race is in the morning. Any cars that fail inspection ahead of the race will start at the back of the field.
Any car that fails inspection will join Chase Elliott, Kyle Larson and Bubba Wallace at the back of the field. They’ll all have to drop to the rear of the field before the start because they’re in backup cars.
