Recap:  Brad Keselowski, driver of the No. 2 Miller Lite Ford Fusion, lead the Team Penske qualifying charge in Bristol on Friday, turning in the second fastest time of the final round, putting him on the front row for the first time this season.  Keselowski, who’s previous best start this season came last week at Texas when he qualified third, missed the pole at the “world’s fastest half mile” by just 0.022 seconds behind Matt Kenseth.  Joey Logano, in Autotrader colors this weekend, qualified his Ford Fusion in the sixth position.  Logano was the fastest driver in the first two rounds of qualifying, but fought a loose racecar in the final session.  The field will have two more practice sessions on Saturday before the 500-lap event on Sunday afternoon.
