Ragan takes Brickyard pole

Roush Fenway Racing's David Ragan claimed pole position for the Brickyard 400 as the team continued its dominance of the Indianapolis weekend. Ragan, who claimed his maiden Sprint Cup win earlier this month at Daytona, beat the early benchmark set by three-time Brickyard 400 winner Jimmie Johnson with a lap of 49.182 seconds at an average speed of 182.994 mph. Red Bull Racing's Kasey Kahne would later get to within 0.018s of Ragan's lap, bumping Johnson from the front row of the grid and securing his best start at Indy.
