Jeff Gordon On Phoenix Pole

Gordon in his Chevrolet scored his first pole at Phoenix, one of four tracks that the series visits he has yet to win at. Alongside him will be 2004 series champ Kurt Busch in his Ford, with teammate and last week's Nextel Cup winner Greg Biffle in third. Bobby Labonte and Brian Vickers in Chevrolets round out the top five.

'Rocket Man' Ryan Newman lines up seventh after a moment on his second lap cost him any chance of moving higher up the order. Points leader Jimmie Johnson will start from twelfth, three places ahead of Dale Earnhardt Jr.
