Brian Vickers ran his second consecutive pole with a strong finish last Friday ay Infineon Raceway.

Vickers recorded a 93.678 mph lap in a Toyota to win his fourth pole of the season. He also won the pole last weekend at Michigan, where he finished ninth.

Vickers barely edged out defending race winner Kyle Busch, who ran a lap at 93.415 mph to qualify for second. Busch was followed by Marcos Ambrose to give Toyota the top three pole positions.

Scott Speed was one of four players who failed to qualify for the grid. He ran off course in Turn 10, spoiling what would have been a great run for the Formula One driver.
