Dover, qualifica: Earnhardt va in pole

Diciassettesimo record della pista infranto per la Sprint Cup a Dover. A centrare la pole è stata la Chevy di Dale Earnhardt Jr, che per la seconda volta quest'anno partirà al palo. Non molto lontano, anzi vicinissimo, in prima fila, ci sarà Matt Kenseth, leader della Chase For The Cup e fino a questo momento monopolista dei playoff con due vittorie. A seguire, Ryan Newman, Aric Almirola, Brad Keselowski e Jamie McMurray. Poco distanti anche Jimmie Johnson, ottavo, e Kurt Busch, nono mentre Martin Truex Jr ha completato la top-10.
