Brad Keselowski saved the best for last Friday - literally.

Keselowski, who was the final driver to go out in qualifying at Michigan International Speedway, turned the fastest lap of the afternoon to claim the pole for Sunday's Consumers Energy 400.

He posted a speed of 190.471 mph.

It's Keselowski's second pole of the season and 16th of his career.

The Team Penske driver, who hails from Rochester Hills, Michigan, about 100 miles away, is still seeking his first career win at his home-state track. He has six top-five finishes in 20 career races at the speedway.

"We were really fast in practice … we picked up just enough to get our second pole here," Keselowski told NBCSN. "Hopefully we can convert it into a win."

Kevin Harvick will start alongside Keselowski on the front row, with William Byron, Alex Bowman and Clint Bowyer rounding out the top five.

The Consumers Energy 400 begins Sunday at 3 p.m. ET and will broadcast live on NBCSN.

There is an Xfinity race on right now and it's a road course.
Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.
Bell and Cindric seem to be the battle to watch for most of the day.
We are over half way complete and been pretty good race, BUT it is not near as thrilling as last week's Cup cars road course at The Glen thou :eek:

Can Austin Cindric go back-to-back following his first career win just last weekend at Watkins Glen?
He finished second here at Mid-Ohio last year, after leading 59 of 75 laps.
