T_R_kpp_Agd6
Brad Keselowski says he didn't know what to expect during qualifying, but he points to "phenomenal short-run speed" as the reason why the No. 2 team captures the Cup Series pole at Richmond.

Playoff drivers Brad Keselowski and Kevin Harvick are on the provisional front row for Saturday’s Cup Series playoff race at Richmond Raceway (7:30 p.m. ET on NBCSN).

The top five is completed by playoff drivers Chase Elliott, Kyle Busch and Clint Bowyer.

The highest qualifying non-playoff driver is Jimmie Johnson (10th).

The lowest qualifying playoff driver was Joey Logano (28th).

The starting lineup will be made official after pre-race inspection Saturday. One failure will result in a qualifying time being disallowed.

UPDATE: All 16 playoff cars have passed inspection. Only the cars of Bubba Wallace and JJ Yeley failed inspection and will start at the rear for tonight’s race.
