BRISTOL, Tenn. -- Carl Edwards is looking for Sprint Cup gold, and there are few more successful spots for him this season than Bristol Motor Speedway.Edwards won from the pole at the track in April and on Friday led Joe Gibbs Racings Olympic-style, 1-2-3 sweep of the top three spots in qualifying for the Saturday night race.Hopefully, well be sitting here tomorrow night at the end of this deal talking about how we did it in the race, Edwards said. Thatd be pretty neat.Edwards had a fast lap of 131.407 mph on the concrete surface of the half-mile track in the final segment of the three-round knockout qualifying. He bested teammates Denny Hamlin in second and Kyle Busch in third.Hamlin set the Bristol qualifying record of 131.668 mph in the first round of NASCARs three rounds of knockout qualifications.Ryan Blaney was fourth, his Ford disrupting a quartet of JGR racers as he finished a tick in front of Matt Kenseth.Chase Elliott was sixth, followed by Martin Truex Jr., AJ Allmendinger, Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano.Jeff Gordon was 11th, his best showing in the four races he has subbed for Dale Earnhardt Jr., who is recovering from a concussion.Chris Buescher, the winner at Pocono last month, rounded out the top 12.It looks difficult for anyone to crack what appears to be JGRs dominance. While most of the garage is scrambling for position to make the championship Chase, Gibbs four drivers already are locked into the 16-driver field with a combined 10 victories in the seasons first 22 races.All of our cars were all very fast, Hamlin said. When youve got drivers that have equal equipment, all good drivers, it will be close.Edwards claimed his 21st career Sprint Cup pole and fourth at Bristol. Hamlin will start in the top 10 for the 21st time this season, and Busch will make his 16th top-10 start of the year.Other notes from Bristol Motor Speedway on Friday:GRIP SOUGHT IN TURNS: NASCAR and Bristol Motor Speedway officials were to reapply resin in the turns of the track late Friday night in preparation for Saturday nights race.The resin also was reapplied Thursday night and appeared to be successful in adding grip to the lower groove.While the track had used a tire machine to add rubber to the resin prior to the race weekend, the tire machine will not be used again before the Sprint Cup race.BIFFLES APPROACH: Greg Biffle might want to take a different tact at Bristol.The Roush Fenway Racing driver spun out and slid -- without hitting the wall -- during Sprint Cup practice early Friday. During qualifying, Biffle did a way-too-similar spin slide.He said he thought the car was strong and he was heading to a fast lap when he felt the car get loose and slip away.Biffle is in need of a strong performance in Saturday nights race. After not finishing in the top 10 in the first 16 races, he had an eighth, sixth and fifth the next three weeks at Daytona, Kentucky and New Hampshire. The spurt didnt last and Biffle has ended up 39th, 25th and 39th the past three races.Biffle is starting 34th at Bristol.LOGANO THREE-PEAT? Logano has won the past two summer night races at Bristol and says he believes he can make it three in a row this weekend.Logano, locked into the championship Chase since winning at Michigan, has a string of consistently high finishes with eight top-10s over the past 10 races -- six of those being top-5 or better. He will start 10th on Saturday.The last driver to win two straight August events was Kyle Busch in 2009 and 2010. The last to win three straight summer events here was Darrell Waltrip in 1981, 1982 and 1983.DALE JR.S REGIMEN: Earnhardt is missing his fifth race this week since doctors believe he had a concussion from a hard crash at Michigan two months ago. He has kept his fans and friends updated on his progress with a series of videos explaining what he must do to improve his balance and his focus on objects in the distance while moving his head.Theres one of him playing basketball. In another, he details visual performance enhancement exercises he must perform for 25 minutes. It crosses your eyes and makes them do all kinds of funny things, Earnhardt said. It trains your eyes to work together, and I need that.Information from The Associated Press and ESPNs Bob Pockrass was used in this report. Robert Green Chelsea Jersey .
