Brad Keselowski is starting first on Sunday at New Hampshire.

Keselowski nudged Kyle Busch off the top spot late in Friday’s qualifying session to get his fourth pole at New Hampshire. It’s the 15th-career pole for Keselowski and his first in nearly two years. Keselowski’s most recent pole came at Michigan in August of 2017.

“It’s been a while since we’ve had a pole,” Keselowski said.

Kyle Busch finished second to his brother Kurt at Kentucky on Saturday night. He’ll start one place ahead of Kurt on Sunday. Erik Jones and Ryan Blaney round out the top five.

Alex Bowman will start last after he had an engine issue in qualifying that caused the drive line in his car to end up on the track.
