LifeLock 400 lineup, with avg. start/finish

Brian Vickers has become a qualifying fool. On Friday, he earned his third pole of the season, tying him with Mark Martin for the most this season. This track type has been incredibly kind to him since his switch to Red Bull Racing and Toyota. He's finished 12th or better in his last seven attempts at Michigan International Speedway and Auto Club Speedway, so this is a promising start.

Vickers grabbed the pole from Kyle Busch, who has similarly been grateful to the two-mile tracks. He's finished 13th or better on these tracks in the last 10 attempts and the winner could very well come from the front row.
