NASCAR Sprint Cup: Federated Auto Parts 400 – Race Line-Up
With a track record qualifying lap of 20.674 seconds and average time of 130.599 mph, Jeff Gordon put his No. 24 Drive to End Hunger Chevrolet SS in the pole position for Saturday night’s 56TH Federated Auto Parts 400 at Richmond International Raceway (RIR). This was Gordon’s first pole of the season, giving him 21 straight seasons with at least one NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) pole – which breaks the record he had shared with David Pearson of 20. This was also his sixth pole in 42 races at RIR, and 73rd career NSCS pole in 715 races – which makes him third on the all-time list.
Kurt Busch, No. 78 Furniture Row/Beautyrest Chevrolet SS, qualified in second position – his eighth front row start and 12th top-10 start of the 2013 NSCS season. Busch, who sits 10th in points, is just six points ahead of Gordon for the coveted top-10 in points needed to make the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup.
