Carl Edwards win pole at Texas

Carl Edwards has his first pole position of 2016.

Edwards outqualified Joey Logano for the right to start first in Saturday night's race at Texas Motor Speedway. Logano made a late run to knock Edwards off the top spot but couldn't get it done at the end of the round.

It's Edwards' second No. 1 qualifying position at Texas and the 17th of his career. He qualified first for the fall race in 2013 at Texas and ended up 37th after he had engine trouble.

Logano won last week's pole at Martinsville and finished 11th. Martin Truex will start third Saturday night while Chase Elliott starts fourth (his highest start since winning the pole at Daytona) and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. starts fifth.
