Poles equal good finishes in 2014 so far:

Of the 18 poles won in 19 races (Richmond qualifying was canceled due to rain), three drivers won from the pole position: #4-Kevin Harvick at Darlington, #48-Jimmie Johnson at Charlotte and #2-Brad Keselowski at Kentucky. Twelve of the 18 finished in the top-five and 15 in the top-ten. Only three pole winners have finished outside the top ten: #18-Kyle Busch finished 14th at Martinsville, #38-David Gilliland finished 35th at Daytona in July and #33-Brian Scott finished 42nd at Talladega.(more at‚ Jayski’s Sprint Unlimited / poles page)(7-15-2014)
