Green, driving a Chevrolet, broke The Milwaukee Mile qualifying record of 121.421 mph set last year by race winner Casey Atwood.

"It was a great run for us," said Green, a three-time winner this year. "We've been very successful sitting on poles and winning races. I know everybody's getting tired of it - but we're not."

Jeff Purvis qualified second at 121.163, followed by Hank Parker Jr. (120.692), Todd Bodine (120.438), Kevin Grubb (120.192), Jimmie Johnson (120.076), Ron Hornaday (120.068), Bobby Hamilton Jr. (120.036) and Derrick Gilchrist (120.008).
