Dale Earnhardt Jr earned his first pole of the 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup season in qualifying at Kentucky Speedway.
It looked like his championship-leading Hendrick team-mate Jimmie Johnson might be hard to beat when he went 0.2 seconds clear of the field with a record 29.485s lap early on.
But Earnhardt was able to topple Johnson by 0.079s as he put himself on pole for the first time since Richmond last autumn.
Roush Fenway's Carl Edwards then got between the Hendrick duo as he claimed the outside front row spot with a lap 0.053s down on Earnhardt.
Joe Gibbs Racing duo Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin put their cars fourth and sixth, separated by Marcos Ambrose's Richard Petty Motorsport Ford.
The remaining top 10 spots went to Ryan Newman, champion Brad Keselowski, Brian Vickers and Juan Pablo Montoya.
The Kentucky race takes place on Saturday night local time.
