Team Penske's Joey Logano took the pole position for Sunday's Enjoy Illinois 300 NASCAR Cup Series "Chase" postseason race at World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway.
Logano secured the top spot for this 240-lap race around the four-turn, 1.25-mile (2.012-kilometer) Madison, Illinois oval by recording a top lap speed of 137.124 miles per hour in his No. 22 in Saturday's qualifying session.
