Erik Jones is in a great position to make a run at winning the South Point 400 (3 p.m. ET Sunday, NBCSN), the first race of NASCAR's 2018 playoffs, after earning the pole position Friday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Joey Logano was close behind him in second, while Denny Hamlin qualified in the third position.

Jones had a good first round, but he really found his bearings in the second round. He posted the fastest time on track in that stage. He carried that momentum on into the final round.

"I knew we had a good car in practice, I didn't know if we were going to have the speed to get the pole, but the track kind of came to us," Jones told NBCSN after his run. "I figured I knew what we were going to need to do adjustment-wise and so did Chris (Gayle, Jones' crew chief) and we were just able to get the Dewalt Camry the way it needed to be and put together a really good lap."

Starting up front in this race is vital. The last two winners of the race (Kevin Harvick, 2018, Martin Truex Jr. 2017) have come from the front row.

Kyle Busch will start in fourth while Harvick, who won the spring Vegas race this year, will start fifth.

Playoff drivers Brad Keselowski (13th), Clint Bowyer (15th), Aric Almirola (16th), Jimmie Johnson (17th) and Austin Dillon (18th) were unable to advance past the second round.

I'm pretty sure that the standard scoring will apply to this playoff race, but in case they do something strange, like leaving out non-playoff participants from the scoring, we will use the standard scoring as per the regular season... Stage points 10-1 for the top ten, then Race Winner with 40 points, and 2-36+ from 35 points down.
