RICHMOND, Va., Sept. 10 (UPI) -- Carl Edwards, winless in his last 61 Sprint Cup Series races, won the pole Friday for Saturday's running of the Air Guard 400.

The race will determine the 12 drivers who will take part in the 10-event Chase for the Championship, which begins next week in New Hampshire.

Edwards turned in a lap of 127.762 mph around the Richmond International Raceway for his second pole of the season and the sixth of his career.

Juan Pablo Montoya was .051 of a second slower around the three-quarter mile oval and will start on the outside of Edwards.

A.J. Allmendinger qualified third and Clint Bowyer was fourth. Bowyer is in the 12th and final qualifying spot for the championship chase but he has a comfortable 117-point cushion over Ryan Newman. If Bowyer can finish among the top 28 Saturday he will make the chase no matter what Newman does.

The top 10 in the points standings have clinched their spots in the chase and Greg Biffle, who is 11th, is all but assured of being a part of the race for the Sprint Cup season title.
