Still seeking his first win since late 2008, Jeff Burton is as hungry as any NASCAR Sprint Cup driver to find victory lane.

If Saturday's final practice at Pocono Raceway is any indication, Sunday's Sunoco Red Cross Pennsylvania 500 at the 2.5-mile track might finally be Burton's time.

The Cup veteran and Richard Childress Racing driver led all drivers in Happy Hour, beating out second-year driver Joey Logano (166.852 mph) and defending series champion Jimmie Johnson (166.769 mph) with a lap of 166.936 mph in the No. 31 Chevrolet.

Part-time Red Bull Racing driver Reed Sorenson and Dale Earnhardt Jr. completed the top five, followed by Clint Bowyer, Kevin Harvick, Mark Martin, Juan Pablo Montoya and Kurt Busch.

Polesitter Tony Stewart was only 26th-fastest in his No. 14 Stewart-Haas Racing Chevrolet.

On-track activities for the Cup series resume with Sunday's 200-lap race, which starts just after 1 p.m.
