Brad Keselowski took the pole away from Kevin Harvick late for the start up front at Richmond Raceway.

Keselowski has slowed down as of late but still remains in a very good position to get to the second round of the NASCAR playoffs.

With one win and four top-five finishes in his career in Richmond, Keselowski will be poised to get a victory again and with it an automatic berth into the second round.

Chase Elliott will start third.

Kyle Busch will be fourth.
