AAA 400 at Dover International Speedway

Qualifying Results

Kevin Harvick and the No. 4 Budweiser Chevrolet SS team will start Sunday’s AAA 400 from the pole position after Harvick scored his seventh NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) pole award of the season in Friday’s qualifying session at Dover International Speedway.

Harvick on qualifying at Dover International Speedway:

On his pole-award-winning run: "It is exciting. These guys do an awesome job in preparing the race cars. The first time here this year we struggled after we unloaded a little bit, but they had it good by Saturday. We unloaded really good this time and it has carried through so far this weekend. I’m just really happy for everybody on our Budweiser Chevrolet team. I have never really qualified that well really anywhere, but here, I guess that is going to be a good deal to have the first pit stall. Here, especially under yellow you just don't have to go very far when you are leaving the pit box. The good pit stalls are typically on that end of pit road, and if you wind up having to get out of your pits, and guys are still coming in as you are in the front of the pack, it is hard to get out of your stall.”

On winning his seventh pole award of the year: “It’s been an amazing year for everybody on our Budweiser Stewart-Haas Racing team. They just do a great job in preparing the race cars and put a lot of effort into qualifying and it’s translated into a lot of good finishes. We’ve just got to keep doing what we’re doing. Track position is huge here, especially at the beginning of the race. I’ve never been in that stall, so I guess it’s going to be okay on that end of pit road. But all in all, I’m just really proud of all my guys. They’ve done a great job all year, but particularly over the last month and just getting consistent cars, finishing races, and doing what we have to do to get those solid runs.”

The following is the starting position of the other SHR teams in Sunday's race:
