Mike Bliss will start from the Busch Pole for the first time in his Busch Series career Saturday in the Sam's Town after posting the top qualifying speed Friday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Bliss is the third first-time Busch Pole winner in three races so far this season.
Bliss toured the 1.5-mile oval in 31.535 seconds at a speed of 171.238 miles per hour. Bobby Hamilton Jr. and Kasey Kahne tied for the second-fastest lap at 31.570/171.048, but Hamilton Jr. will start second because he had the higher owner point total from the 2003 season.
