Brad Keselowski, with a qualifying lap speed of 129.384 mph, captured the NNS New England 200 Coors Light Pole Award at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

This was Keselowski’s first series pole of the 2011 season, his ninth series career pole and his second series pole at “The Magic Mile” (won the pole here last here).

Sharing the front row with Keselowski and with a qualifying lap speed of 129.016 mph, will be Kevin Harvick, and they will be followed by Joey Logano (128.898) starting from third, Aric Almirola (128.195) starting fourth and Kyle Busch (128.139) will start fifth.

Rounding out the top-ten starting positions will be Reed Sorenson (128.135) who will start sixth, Trevor Bayne (128.100) seventh, Justin Allgaier (128.048) eighth, Brian Scott (127.859) ninth and Carl Edwards (127.855) will start from the tenth position.

Only 42 drivers attempted to qualify; therefore, no one failed to make the starting lineup.

The New England 200 is scheduled to get underway approximately around 3:50 PM (EDT) this afternoon, with ESPN beginning their (pre-race) coverage at 2:30 PM (EDT).
