KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- Kevin Harvick has a second straight shot at winning from the pole at Kansas Speedway. Harvick was back on top at the 1.5-mile track, posting a track record to help propel him to his second pole of the season. Harvick posted his record 194.658 mph lap Friday in the second round of NASCARs knockout qualifying format. His No. 4 Chevrolet hit 194.252 in the third round to give him two straight poles at Kansas, after he won from the top spot at Octobers race. "It was Freaky Fast today, so just have to put it all together tomorrow night when it counts," Harvick said. Harvick has two wins this season and won from the pole at Darlington. He will lead the field to green Saturday under the lights for the first time in a Sprint Cup race at Kansas. Joey Logano joined Harvick on the front row. Brad Keselowski, Carl Edwards and Kyle Larson rounded out the top five. His qualifying spins over, Keselowski worked hard defending himself from drivers -- like former champion Jimmie Johnson -- who said he didnt need to race so hard when he was out of contention Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway. Keselowski fell six laps off the pace while his car was repaired from an earlier accident. When he returned to the track, he decided to race hard with the leaders in an attempt to slowly get his laps back and maybe put himself back in position to win. Keselowski eventually spun in the middle of the pack to trigger a 14-car accident that wrecked former champions Jeff Gordon, Matt Kenseth, Tony Stewart and Johnson. "You have to think being six laps down you are not going to get back on the lead lap," Johnson said Friday. "There is an opinion, if you are on the race track you deserve a right to go race regardless how many laps down you are. Im sure that is probably a smaller percentage of people have that opinion. Its very easy when you are caught up in that wreck is to go, Why were you racing? You are six laps down. It just depends on where you are." Keselowski brushed off the barbs from his rivals. "Thats his right," Keselowski said. "We all hold the steering wheel. Theres 43 of us out there and we all hold it a little bit differently and make different decisions. It would be quite lame to watch if we all did the same thing and had the same ideas and personnas. "Id say in most cases, I probably wouldnt have done it. But in that case, I felt like it was the proper thing to do with having the potential to race the 1 car (Jamie McMurray) and get back in sequence. If we got back in sequence, we had enough speed in our car, with yellows, to have a shot at winning the race. I wasnt ready to give up." Kurt Busch was sixth, followed by Ryan Newman and Tony Stewart. Danica Patrick qualified ninth for her second straight top-10 start and Greg Biffle was 10th. Harvick said a little 15-minute pep talk with Patrick may have spurred her to another solid qualifying run. She set a track record on her first lap, though it was topped multiple times during the three rounds. "She just basically needed to quit thinking about it and smash the gas," he said. "Thats what she said. Shes done a great job in trying to take in all the information." Harvick, who jumped from Richard Childress Racing to Stewart-Haas Racing, pulled away from Kurt Busch and Gordon on a late restart to win a wreck-filled race in October at Kansas. "I dont think its going to be like the way it was when they dropped the green flag last fall here," he said. Harvick won his eighth pole in 477 career starts. "It makes life a lot easier when you can have pit stall one," he said. "Hopefully we can have a good night tomorrow night, but the weekend has gone good we had a great test here a few weeks ago and everything has carried right over." Hoodies Outlet Free Shipping .

Cornish is questionable for the game against the Argonauts -- a rematch of the 2012 Grey Cup -- with what head coach John Hufnagel called a thigh contusion. The CFLs leading rusher last season and the No. 2 runner behind Saskatchewans Kory Sheets this year didnt practise for a second straight day Wednesday. "It I cant go, then Ill try and get straight. If I can go, Ill try and dominate," Cornish said. But Cornish described the injury as one of "overuse" and not bruising. He ran for 175 yards and four touchdowns Aug. 9 in a 42-27 win over Saskatchewan, but was limited to 73 yards and one major in a 26-22 loss to the B.C. Lions last Saturday. "Ive recently restored a lot of range of motion to my leg that I havent had for four years," Cornish explained. "My leg did more work than probably its done with that range of motion in the (Saskatchewan) game and then (I) played in the B.C. game. It didnt feel good in that game." Calgary native Matt Walter will get the nod at halfback if Cornish cant play, Hufnagel said. Calgarys depth at receiver is getting tested. Veteran slotback Nik Lewis is out for at least six games with a broken fibula he suffered in Vancouver. Maurice Price also wont play Friday because of an ankle injury. Calgary (5-2) was already without receivers Joe West (shoulder), Johnny Forzani (ankle) and Chris Bauman (wrist) on the nine-game injured list. So Montreal native Jabari Arthur will get a lot of work for the next month and a half during Lewiss absence. Former quarterback Brad Sinopoli of Peterborough, Ont., had five catches for 81 yards his first CFL game as a receiver July 12 and will fill in for Price. It did not go well for Calgarys offence last week after Lewis went out in the second quarter following a tackle by B.C.s Solomon Elimimian. The Stampeders managed just ttwo field goals in the second half as receivers dropped the ball seven times.dddddddddddd Stampeder quarterback Kevin Glenn went 22 for 38 for 199 yards in passing. Hufnagel blamed his teams inability to move the ball on his receivers. "Probably one of the most disappointing games from our receivers that Ive been associated with as a group," Hufnagel told the Calgary Herald earlier this week. The coach and general manager was more moderate in his assessment Wednesday. "I didnt call them out. I just explained what happened in the game," the head coach said. "Id never seen a game with seven dropped passes before. Obviously our receivers have to do a better job of catching the football." Toronto (5-2) would probably key on Cornish if he plays given Calgarys unsettled passing game. Cornishs absence would be all the better for the Argonaut defence, ranked No. 2 in the league. "Were going to attack them as best as we can," Arthur said. Marquay McDaniel led Calgary in receptions with seven for 75 yards in Vancouver. The slotback will probably again be a recurring target for Glenn with Lewis out. "Weve just got to go out there and know what were doing each play, knowing your assignment and execute and just got to make the play when the ball comes your way," McDaniel said. "All year one guys gone down and somebodys got to step up and fill that spot." Arthur has dressed for every game and compiled 168 yards on 14 catches. He may not have the stocky Lewiss blocking talent, but at six foot four Arthur is half a foot taller than Lewis and thus offers more vertical. "Nik has a very great skill set and were probably going to miss it a little bit, but I think I also bring a different skill set to the table," Arthur said. "I think Ill still be able to make a few plays like Nik does for that position. "Im going to catch the ball if they throw it to me. Thats what Im going to do." ' ' '
