Martin Truex Jr. has absolutely been on fire so far in 2012, as has been the case with the whole Michael Waltrip Racing team. Those trends continued Friday during Coors Light Pole qualifying for Saturday night’s Samsung Mobile 500 at Texas Motor Speedway.

Truex posted a lap of 190.369 mph, which was just enough to edge out Roush-Fenway teammates Matt Kenseth and Greg Biffle for the pole. This marks the seventh pole of Truex’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series career, and it’s his second pole at Texas Motor Speedway.

Matt Kenseth was just saddened by being so close to the pole.

“That was good. I just would feel better if I got beat by more I guess. I felt like I got it all out of there and we just missed it a little bit. Our car has a lot of speed we just don’t have it driving exactly right yet. I had a couple different issues. A little bit of everything. It was a little too loose, but I had some other problems too.”
