07/25/2009 - Indianapolis, IN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Trevor Bayne became the third youngest pole winner in the NASCAR Nationwide Series on Saturday after grabbing the top starting position for the Kroger 200 at O'Reilly Raceway Park at Indianapolis.

Bayne, at age 18 years, 156 days, lapped the 0.686-mile oval at 110.764 m.p.h. (22.296 seconds) in his No.99 Michael Waltrip Racing Toyota for his first pole in just his seventh Nationwide start.

"This (car) has been good all day, it was even better in qualifying," Bayne said. "I couldn't be any happier right now."

Casey Atwood, at 17 years, six months and 18 days, holds the record for youngest pole winner in the series. Joey Logano captured his first pole at Milwaukee in June 2008 when he was 18 years, 27 days.

Bayne also joined Brett Bodine (1985), Michael Waltrip (1989) and Ward Burton (1991) as those drivers who won their first series pole at ORP.

Brad Coleman, driving the No.20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota, will start on the outside pole after posting a lap at 110.601 m.p.h.

Steve Wallace qualified third, followed by Erik Darnell and Terry Cook.

Scott Lagasse Jr., Brad Keselowski, Ron Hornaday Jr., Brendan Gaughan and Mike Bliss completed the top-10.

Johnny Sauter qualified Kyle Busch's No.18 JGR Toyota in 41st. Busch, who currently holds a 212-point lead, participated in final Sprint Cup Series practice at nearby Indianapolis Motor Speedway during qualifying.

Dennis Setzer, Brian Keselowski, Joe Ruttman, John Wes Townley and Mike Wallace failed to qualify.

Today's race is scheduled to start around 8:00 p.m. (et).
