Johnny Sauter fastest Chevy

Johnny Sauter turned a surprisingly fast qualifying lap at New Hampshire International Speedway for the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series race.
He will start Sunday's race fourth, the highest qualifyng driver for Chevrolet in the field.
"Both laps felt really good," said Sauter, driver of the No. 70 Chevrolet for Haas/CNC Racing. "It's just really cool. It's a brand new car and we got to go test it. I'm just happy. That's what it's all about. This is a race that I circle on the calendar every year and I know I'm going to come here and run good. It's a flat race track and that's what I like and I seem to always run well. So it's pretty cool for everybody at Haas Racing and Yellow Transportation -- it's a pretty cool weekend."
Six Chevrolet drivers qualified in the top 10 for the New Hampshire race. Dale Earnhardt Jr. will start the race sixth. Kevin Harvick was seventh fastest in qualifying and Jeff Gordon was eighth.
Gordon said he was happy that Sauter had such a good qualifying run.
"I knew there was something out there," said Gordon, driver of the No. 24 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports. "Johnny is a great short track racer. That team has been really making great gains and I wasn't surprised to see him up top there and I'm just real happy of the DuPont Chevrolet, and we put a solid lap together."
