Pole-sitter Harvick leads KHI 1-2-3-4 sweep
Kevin Harvick won the Coors Light Pole award for the Subway Jalapeno 250 at Daytona International Speedway with a lap of 49.545 seconds (181.653 mph) on Friday.
Kevin Harvick Inc. drivers swept the first two rows, marking the first time a team will start 1-2-3-4 in series history. The only other time KHI swept the front row was Talladega in April 2011 (1. Elliott Sadler; 2. Clint Bowyer).
Tony Stewart will start on the outside of the front row. Stewart is a six-time winner at Daytona, with four of those coming in KHI equipment, including the past two season openers.
Sadler, KHI's full-time driver who is second in points, will roll off third and Bowyer will start fourth. Sadler and Bowyer were involved in a practice crash, but it hasn't affected their speeds.
Kenny Wallace had his time disallowed and will start 42nd for being too low in post qualifying inspection.
