NASCAR-BRICKYARD 400 POLE
No. 2 for Ragan
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - David Ragan was one of the last drivers out
in qualifying, but he'll be leading the pack when the green flag
drops for today's Brickyard 400.
Ragan turned a lap at 182.994 mph on the famed 2 1/2-mile oval to
bump Jimmie Johnson from the pole. It is the second pole of Ragan's
career. The other came at Texas in April.
Kasey Kahne (kayn) grabbed the second spot before it was all
over, dropping Johnson to third.

Kes cruises
CLERMONT, Ind. (AP) - Brad Keselowski stayed close to the
leaders and then ran strong in the two green-white-checkered laps
at the end to win the NASCAR Nationwide Series Kroger 200. James
Buescher finished second. Polesitter Ricky Stenhouse Jr. led 189
laps before finishing third.
It was a good day for Keselowski, who earlier in the day
qualified fifth for Sunday's Brickyard 400.
