Joey Logano won his first pole of the season Friday as he ran the fastest qualifying time at Kansas Speedway for Sunday's Hollywood Casino 400 (2:30 p.m. ET, NBC).
"It's been a while since we got a pole so it feels nice to be able to break through and start in a good spot for this final race of the cutoff," Logano told NBCSN after his run.
Logano's last pole before Friday was at the fall race at Martinsville in 2017.
