After a disappointing wreck in Las Vegas, Kevin Harvick will start first in the second race of NASCAR's playoffs after he won the pole at Richmond Raceway on Friday.

Harvick had some solid runs to start the day, but he saved the best for last as he held off Denny Hamlin for the top spot at the Federated Auto Parts 400.

This is Harvick's 24th career pole.

Daniel Suarez started the day great, winning both of the first two rounds by a good margin, but he fell off to start fifth Saturday.

Martin Truex Jr. will start third, Brad Keselowski eighth and Kyle Busch 12th.

The Federated Auto Parts 400 can be seen Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET on NBCSN
