08/22/2008 - Bristol, TN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Cale Gale became a first-time pole winner in the NASCAR Nationwide Series by grabbing the top starting position for Friday night's Food City 250 at the Bristol Motor Speedway. The No.33 Chevrolet driver for Kevin Harvick, Inc. circled the half-mile, high-banked oval in 15.727 seconds (122.007 m.p.h.).
Gale's first Nationwide pole came in his 23rd start. He joined Bryan Clauson (Daytona), Landon Cassill (New Hampshire), Brad Keselowski (Milwaukee), Joey Logano (Nashville) and Colin Braun (Mexico City) as first-time pole winners in the series this year.
"Our Chevrolet has been awesome all day, and the last few races I've run, it's been really good," Gale said. "It really feels good, and hopefully we can finish the race tonight with a good finish."
Starting alongside Gale on the front row will be Dario Franchitti, who posted the second-best time of 15.794 seconds.
Greg Biffle (15.807) and Elliott Sadler (15.830) will start on the second row.
Other drivers of note and their starting positions are Carl Edwards (eighth), Clint Bowyer (ninth) and Keselowski (37th).
With 10 races remaining on this year's schedule, the points battle in the Nationwide Series is shaping up to be a good one among three drivers. Bowyer holds a 113-point lead over second-place Edwards and a 132-point advantage over third-place Keselowski in the championship standings.
Tonight's race is scheduled to start around 8:00 p.m. (et).
