NASCAR Cup race at Las Vegas starting lineup: Kevin Harvick wins pole

The NASCAR Cup Series will now shift to its second straight 1.5-mile oval track at Las Vegas Motor Speedway for the Pennzoil 400. The season has got on to a wild start after three new winners in as many weeks. Kevin Harvick, second in the points standings with 119 points, will start from pole position for Sunday's race.

Harvick is only the second driver, along with Michael McDowell, to have three Top-10s in as many races so far this season.

The No. 4 NASCAR veteran driver will have William Byron of Hendrick Motorsports (HMS) alongside him on the front row. Byron's win at Homestead last weekend took him to 13th in the standings. Byron put on a consistent showing as he led 102 laps and won with a difference of 2.777 seconds.

Kyle Larson and Martin Truex Jr. will make up the second row for the Las Vegas race.
