logano getty kansas 1 2015

Joey Logano earned his 12th career Sprint Cup pole, his fourth of the season and his first at Kansas Speedway on Friday.

Logano topped the field for Saturdays SpongeBob SquarePants 400 with a speed of 192.397 mph. Kasey Kahne was second-fastest at 191.911, followed by Brad Keselowski (191.857), Martin Truex Jr. (191.782) and Carl Edwards (191.578).

“We just kind of swung for the fence in the last round and the car drove awesome,” Logano told Fox Sports 1. “It’s not very often you get a car that’s just perfect.

“I came off Turn 4 and I didn’t know how to go faster than that. … It was a great run, our fourth pole of the season (also at Atlanta, Martinsville and Richmond). We just need to rack up some more wins.”

Phenom Erik Jones, who earned the pole for tonight’s Toyota Tundra 250 Camping World Truck Series and who was fastest in the second Sprint Cup practice session earlier in the day, qualified 12th.
