Rookie David Gilliland won
his first career pole Saturday afternoon at the Talladega Superspeedway. Gilliland posted a speed of 191.712 mph to edge out
his Robert Yates Racing (RYR) teammate Dale Jarrett for the pole for Sunday’s UAW-Ford 500. The two RYR cars took the top
two spots after NASCAR announced Saturday morning that all teams would use a smaller restrictor plate for Sunday’s race.
Rolling off third Sunday will
be Jimmie Johnson, followed by his Hendrick Racing teammate Jeff Gordon in fourth. Greg Biffle rounded out the top five.
