We are primed for a fun Sunday as Brad Keselowski and Kyle Busch will start 1-2 at the Foxwoods Resort Casino 301.

Busch had a great run Friday to take the pole away from Erik Jones, who posted a very good time early in qualifying, but Busch's lead was short-lived as Keselowski took it away just one lap later.

This comes one week after Keselowski got on Busch's nerves at Kentucky when he cut him off during a lap, which made Busch motion to him out his window in frustration.

Now the two will start side by side, and Kurt Busch, who beat brother Kyle to the line to win last week's race, will be just one back after qualifying third.

The Foxwoods Resort Casino 301 can be seen at 3 p.m. ET Sunday on NBCSN.
