Joey Logano will start first at Martinsville
Joey Logano's Bristol dirt win helped earn him the pole for Saturday night's race at Martinsville.
Logano will start alongside Denny Hamlin for the night race (7:30 p.m. ET, Fox Sports 1) after he became the seventh different winner in the first seven races of the 2021 Cup Series season. Hamlin finished second to Logano at Bristol.
Logano is one of three 2021 winners who start in the top five. Homestead winner William Byron starts third and Atlanta winner Ryan Blaney starts fourth.
With no practice or qualifying ahead of Saturday's race, NASCAR's qualifying formula was used to set the lineup. The formula consists of a driver’s finishing position from the previous race (25 percent), the car owner’s finishing position from the previous event (25 percent), where the team is in owner points (35 percent) and the driver’s fastest lap from the previous race (15 percent). The driver with the lowest combined number starts first.
Here's the full starting lineup for the race. NASCAR returns to action at Martinsville after the first off weekend of the season over Easter.
