He went on to finish 3.5 seconds ahead of second-place Tony Stewart, collecting his 15th career Sprint Cup win but his first in 64 races dating to since September 2008 at Dover.

Carl Edwards came in third and Sprint Cup points leader Kevin Harvick was fourth.

Denny Hamlin, the two-time defending Pocono winner, ended up in fifth place and Hornish fell to 11th.

Bristol, Tenn. Aug. 21: Mark Martin won the ninth pole of his career at Bristol Motor Speedway Friday and will start out front in for Saturday's Sharpie 500.

Martin turned in a lap of 124.484 miles per hour, allowing him to tie Cale Yarborough for the most poles won at the track. Martin also won the pole here in March.

After finishing 31st last Sunday at Michigan, Martin dropped to 12th in the points race, the last position that qualifies for the Sprint Cup playoff chase. He is only 12 points in front of Brian Vickers, the Michigan winner.

Greg Biffle finished second to Martin in qualifying by just .02 of a second.

Rookie Scott Speed was third and Dave Blaney was fourth.

Points leader Tony Stewart will start 30th.

Watkins Glen, N.Y. Aug. 7: Three-time defending Sprint Cup series champion Jimmie Johnson won his first pole of the year Friday for Sunday's race at Watkins Glen International.

Johnson covered the 2.45-mile, 11-turn road course in 71.340 seconds (123.633 mph). It was his first pole victory since last November and his first ever in 16 tries on a road course.

"We did all the right things today," Johnson said. "The car could have been a little bit better. For us, it was a little bit adventurous from time to time in qualifying trim, but I guess we had fewer problems than everybody else in putting in really good laps."

Kurt Busch was second-quickest Friday, just .008 seconds behind Johnson.
