Busch’s brother, Kurt, will join him on the front row.  This is the 2nd time the brothers have started 1-2, the last time at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, a sister track to TMS.

Fan favorite Dale Earnhardt, Jr will start 6th, in front of teammates Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon.

Danica Patrick will start 42nd.
