Kevin Harvick captured the pole for the Big Machine Vodka 400 at the Brickyard in an unusual Sunday qualifying session at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Harvick's 185.766 mph lap withstood a surprising late challenge from Paul Menard (185.724 mph), who will start alongside him on the front row.

"(Clean air) is going to be huge … handling is going to come into play," Harvick told NBCSN after earning his third pole of the year — and 30th of his career.

"There's a number of things that have to come into play, and hopefully we can finish today where we start."

The race at Indianapolis marks the final event of NASCAR's regular season, and two of the drivers on the playoff bubble really helped themselves in qualifying, with Clint Bowyer qualifying third and Jimmie Johnson posting the fifth-fastest time. Bubble drivers Daniel Suarez, who qualified 20th, and Ryan Newman (22nd) will start well back in the pack.

The green-flag time for Sunday's race has been moved up to 2:05 p.m. ET.
