Keselowski wins Nationwide pole in Milwaukee

Brad Keselowski turned a lap of 121.298 mph in qualifying, putting him on the pole for Saturday night's NASCAR Nationwide series race at the Milwaukee Mile.

It is the first career pole for Keselowski, who won his first Nationwide series race at Nashville on June 7.

Keselowski drives the No. 88 Chevrolet for JR Motorsports, a partnership between Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Rick Hendrick, the team owner Earnhardt drives for in the Sprint Cup series.

Mike Bliss qualified second Saturday afternoon, followed by Landon Cassill and Jason Keller, all driving Chevrolets.

David Reutimann, one of five drivers flying to Milwaukee after driving in Sprint Cup series practice in California earlier in the day, qualified fifth in a Toyota.
