Johnson turned a lap of 123.475 mph to earn his 24th career Sprint Cup pole and the first on 2010. 

Carl Edwards recorded the second-best lap of the session with a speed of 122.937 mph. Joey Logano, Tony Stewart and David Reutimann rounded out the top five.

Ryan Newman, Jamie McMurray, Juan Pablo Montoya, Martin Truex, Jr. and A.J. Allmendinger completed the first ten qualifiers.
