Kurt Busch takes Infineon pole
Kurt Busch has taken pole for Sunday's Dodge/Save Mart 350 at Infineon Raceway
Busch in his Dodge just edged out Ford's Jamie McMurray, who took Busch's place at Roush Racing when Busch left to join Penske at the end of last season.
Completing the top five are Kevin Harvick in a Chevrolet, Busch's teammate Ryan Newman in another Dodge and Boris Said in his first of four races this season for No Fear Racing.
Some of the more fancied road-course drivers are a little further down the order. Eight-time road course winner Jeff Gordon starts eleventh, one place ahead of last year's Infineon Raceway winner Tony Stewart.
Robby Gordon is fourteenth, a place ahead of PJ Jones, while road-course 'ringer' Ron Fellows, 'fresh' from finishing the Le Mans 24 hours last weekend, is two places further back in seventeenth.
