Kyle Larson finished second with a speed of 175.292 mph, followed by Kasey Kahne (174.914), Carl Edwards (174.897) and Kurt Busch (174.829) to round out the top five.

Edwards and Harvick are the only drivers who snagged a top-five finish in both of Saturday's practices. 

Defending Pocono race winner Dale Earnhardt Jr. was ninth-fastest with a speed of 174.452 mph in the final tune-up in the Hendrick Motorsports No. 88 Chevrolet.

Dale Jr. is looking to win three straight at The Tricky Triangle, a feat that would put him in rare company with Bobby Allison and Tim Richmond, who are the only drivers to accomplish the three-peat at Pocono.

Notably outside the top 10 for Saturday’s final practice were Jimmie Johnson and Kyle Busch.

Sprint Cup Series action continues tomorrow with the Axalta "We Paint Winners" 400 at 1 p.m. ET (FOX Sports 1, MRN, SiriusXM).
