JOLIET, Ill. (AP) -- Brian Vickers has won his fifth pole of the season, running a lap of 184.162 mph at Chicagoland Speedway.

Red Bull Racing teammate Scott Speed qualified second on Thursday at 182.958. Three-time defending Cup champion Jimmie Johnson was third.

Denny Hamlin and Clint Bowyer round out the top five.

Vickers hasn't had those poles help him drive to Victory Lane. He hasn't finished higher than fifth this season.

He has 10 career poles in 191 Cup races.
