Harvick, Jeff Gordon and Brad Keselowski swept the top three spots in qualifying, setting up what could be a showdown between the most dominant teams so far this season.
Harvick, who picked up his fourth pole of the season Sunday, already has two wins this season but was in the mix for several other victories with his new Stewart-Haas Racing team. Gordon is the Sprint Cup points leader and has been a model of consistency all year for Hendrick Motorsports, and Penske has gotten three wins from Keselowski.
Keselowski, third in the standings behind Hendrick drivers Gordon and Dale Earnhardt Jr., didn't think Saturday was a true indicator of how the Brickyard - or the rest of the season - will play out.
''When you think you really understand what's going on, you never know what somebody else has in their hand - much like if you were playing a game of poker,'' Keselowski said. ''We think that we have the two strongest hands with Penske and Hendrick, and certainly that's been the case to this date in the season, but you just don't know what's out there.''
