Kahne's lap of 16.016-seconds beat fellow Dodge driver Juan Pablo Montoya who qualified outside the front row with a lap of 16.064-seconds.
Jamie McMurray, David Ragan and Dave Blaney completed the
first five qualifiers.

rounded out the top ten.
David Reutimann, Sterling Marlin, Brian Vickers, Kevin Lepage and Stanton
