Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano give Penske a sweep of Michigan front row
A Team Penske car is starting on the pole at Michigan for the second-straight August race.
Brad Keselowski will start first in Sunday’s race at his home state track. Alongside him will be Joey Logano, who started first at Michigan in August a year ago.
While Keselowski is locked into NASCAR’s playoffs, Logano needs a win to get in. His win at Richmond was taken away for playoff purposes because his car failed inspection and he’s nearly 100 points outside of the final playoff spot via points. If Logano wins on Sunday, he’ll be in the 16-driver playoff field.
Kyle Larson is going for his third win in a row at Michigan. He’ll start ninth in Sunday’s race. Here’s how the field will roll off:
1. Brad Keselowski
