Logano's fastest lap of 124.308 mph helped him secure his fourth pole in eight Xfinity Series races this season. The Sprint Cup regular has won three races and collected five top-fives in NASCAR's second-tier series in 2015.

Keselowski - won the 2013 Zippo 200 - joins Logano in the front row after he rounded The Glen with a fastest lap of 123.607 mph.
Both Logano and Keselowski started 2014's Zippo 200 on the front row as well. Keselowski secured the pole and Logano grabbed the number two spot.
Chase Elliott will start in third after turning a fastest lap of 123.521 mph and Kyle Larson (123.521 mph) will start fourth. Points leader Chris Buescher (122.800 mph) will start Saturday's race in fifth.
