Harvick wins Busch pole at NHIS

Loudon, NH (Sports Network) - Kevin Harvick earned the pole for Saturday afternoon's Camping World 200 Busch Series race at the New Hampshire International Speedway. The No.21 Chevrolet circled the flat 1.058-mile oval in 29.449 seconds (129.335 m.p.h.).
The pole victory was Harvick's second of the season and 16th of his Busch career.
"The Auto Zone Chevrolet was pretty good, but I left a little on the table in (turns) one and two," said Harvick.
Starting on the front row with Harvick will be Busch Series points leader Carl Edwards who posted a second-best time of 29.461 seconds.
In his first nine 2007 Busch Series starts, Edwards collected a win and eight top-fives. His lead was 424 over Dave Blaney. In the next eight races, Edwards earned only three top-fives (two were wins - Dover and Nashville) yet his lead has ballooned to 776 points over runner-up David Reutimann.
lint Bowyer (29.570) and Bobby Santos (29.580) will make up row two.
Other drivers of note and their starting positions: Denny Hamlin (sixth), Juan Montoya (seventh), Matt Kenseth (eighth), Blaney (ninth), Tony Stewart (10th) and Reutimann (12th).
Thirteen of the top-15 drivers are Nextel Cup drivers. Only Santos and Richard Johns stopped a clean sweep.
The race is set to begin at 3 p.m. (et).
