CONCORD, N.C. — Martin Truex Jr. put himself in good position for another strong showing at the Coca-Cola 600, a race he thought he should have won last year.

Truex turned a lap of 192.328 to grab the pole away from Joey Logano on his final lap of qualifying Thursday night at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Logano, who had the top time in the first two rounds, will start alongside Truex on the front row Sunday night in the NASCAR Sprint Cup race.

“We put it all together when it counted,” Truex said.

Truex was running strong last year at the Coca-Cola 600, but Carl Edwards stayed on the track rather than pit and won, getting 62 laps out of his final tank of gas to win the 400-lap race.

It was a disappointing outcome for Truex, who wound up finishing fifth in 2015.

“I really thought we were going to go to victory lane but we lost on fuel mileage,” Truex said.

Truex said he’s happy with how he’s been running this season and believes he had a good chance to make up for last season’s disappointment.

It is Truex’s second pole in the last three Sprint Cup races. He also started first at Kansas.
