Team Penske’s Logano was the last of the 10-car final round to qualify and bolted to the top of the speed chart with an average lap speed of 181.947mph to secure pole for Sunday’s race.
Logano’s pole is the first for a Ford driver in the pole since Carl Edwards in 2012 and first in the race for team owner Roger Penske. It was also the first 500 pole for Logano, who won the race in 2015.
