The Stewart-Haas Racing Fords were fast in practice at Kansas Speedway, but they were somehow even faster during Monster Energy NASCAR Cup qualifying Friday evening.
Kevin Harvick won the pole for Saturday night's Digital Ally 400, and he'll have some familiar faces beside and behind him, with Stewart-Haas driver Aric Almirola on the outside of the front row and teammates Clint Bowyer and Daniel Suarez starting third and fourth, respectively.

It's Harvick's third pole this season and the 28th of his career.

"The mile-and-a-half race tracks have been a handful for us this season … but this is the next step, and (our team) has done a great job," Harvick told FS1 afterward.
"I was happy with the way my car drove, it's got a ton of speed."
On a strange note, brothers Kyle and Kurt Busch will start 13th and 14th, respectively, after posting the exact same qualifying speed (176.551 mph).
