Well, that was dramatic.
The pole for the Quaker State 400 seemed to be well-decided late in qualifying Friday after Aric Almirola took it from Brad Keselowski, but Daniel Suarez had plans.
The 27-year-old driver ran the last lap of the day and took the pole from Almirola. Suarez will start up front at Kentucky Speedway on Saturday night.
