Kurt Busch: Outside Pole at Talladega

Busch will start from the outside pole for the YellaWood 500 at Talladega Superspeedway Sunday afternoon.

Analysis:

Busch's big victory at Las Vegas last week was good enough to earn him a front row starting spot for this Sunday in the YellaWood 500. He'll start alongside Denny Hamlin for the green flag at Talladega Superspeedway. Busch has been a very consistent performer over the years at this oval, and the Chip Ganassi Racing veteran should challenge the Top 5 Sunday at Talladega.
