Recap:  Brad Keselowski, driver of the No. 2 Miller Lite Ford Fusion, earned his second pole of the 2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season, taking the top spot in qualifying at Kansas Speedway on Friday afternoon.  Keselowski's time of 27.621 seconds in the final session was just 0.007 seconds faster than second-place Carl Edwards and was good enough to give Team Penske a season-sweep of poles at Kansas Speedway (Keselowski's teammate Joey Logano earned the pole at Kansas in the spring race). Keselowski was fastest in practice and backed it up, turning in the fastest times in both the first and final rounds of qualifying on Friday afternoon at the 1.5-mile track. Logano struggled in qualifying, having to make two runs in both the first and second rounds and clocking just the 14th quickest time in the second session. It was only the fifth time this season that Logano has failed to make the final round of qualifying.
