Kahne Takes Richmond Pole

Kasey Kahne took his third pole position in as many races for Saturday night's Chevey American Revolution 400 at Richmond

He became the first driver at Richmond to win pole for both the Nextel Cup and races.

Kahne edged out Ryan Newman with a 129.964mph lap. Newman was driving a spare car after crashing in practice and put in a fractionally slower lap at 129.801 mph.

"I was worried about Ryan Newman," Kahne said. "I knew he was in a backup car, but I knew he was going to be fast."
