Who will start next to him when the green flag waves on the Federated Auto Pars 400 at Richmond International Raceway?

Brad Keselowski, who has an outside shot of making the Chase, will start third, making it three former Cup champions, all fighting for Chase spots, in the first three positions at the start.
“It’s just really about building momentum and confidence throughout the weekend to know we’re fine-tuning, that we’re not looking and searching for big things,” four-time Cup champion Gordon said after he earned him his first pole of the season.
