Joey Logano starts from the pole position tomorrow at the Ford EcoBoost 400, but most of the focus in the Chase for the Sprint Cup finale is on who will win the cup. Brad Keselowski leads Jimmie Johnson by 20 points and all he has to do is finish 15th to clinch the championship. Johnson will start 10th tomorrow and Keselowski starts third. Cambridge native Matt Kenseth is out of the running, but he could sneak into the top-five with a good finish. He takes off 11th. Eau Claire driver Paul Menard lines up 18th and Travis Kvapil of Janesville will start 38th.
