The beat goes on for Kevin Harvick, who carried the momentum of winning at Richmond all the way to Loudon and turned his efforts into the pole position. Posting an impressive lap of 28.793 seconds, Harvick earned the front spot ahead of Jeff Gordon, Kurt Busch, Ryan Newman and Denny Hamlin.
Among the top 10 qualifiers, only four -- Harvick, Gordon, Hamlin and Jimmie Johnson (7th) -- are contenders in the Chase for the Nextel Cup. Dale Earnhardt Jr. will start 13th, Kyle Busch 16th, Jeff Burton 22nd, Matt Kenseth 25th, Mark Martin 26th and Kasey Kahne 33rd.
