A pill to do the same in humans

Gordon went out very early in
time trials and quickly set the speed
to beat with a lap at 126.251miles per
hour for his 5th pole of the season.

It's also his third pole in a
row, and the 61st pole positiona of his
career.

Carl Edwards qualified second,
but the big story was that Dale Jarrett
was too slow to make it. It ends his
