Kyle Busch wins pole at Richmond

RICHMOND, Va., April 30 (UPI) -- Kyle Busch won the sixth pole of his Sprint Cup career Friday, turning in the fastest qualifying lap for Saturday's Crown Royal 400.

Busch turned a lap at Richmond International Raceway in 127.077 miles per hour. He won the spring race at Richmond last year on his 24th birthday.

"We had great race car in practice," Busch said. "I generally don't win that many poles, but I think we've got a pretty good race car."

David Reutimann qualified 0.87 seconds behind Busch, putting a Toyota on the first row of a Sprint Cup race for the first time since last July.

Points leader Jimmie Johnson qualified third, followed by Jeff Gordon, Ryan Newman and Brad Keselowski.
