In his second-to-last weekend as a full-time driver in the NASCAR Cup Series, Martin Truex, Jr. will lead the field to the green flag, winning the pole for Sunday's XFINITY 500 at Martinsville Speedway.
The Joe Gibbs Racing driver was able to lay down the quickest time in the final round of time trials on Saturday, beating out Hendrick Motorsports teammates, and post-season contenders, Chase Elliott and William Byron for the top spot. It's the Mayetta, New Jersey native's 24th NASCAR Cup Series pole, and the first since last season at this same racetrack.
Chase Briscoe was fourth with Ty Gibbs in fifth. Harrison Burton, Alex Bowman, Ryan Preece, Kyle Larson, and Austin Dillon completed the top-10
Now six drivers are left to fight for the last two spots: Kyle Larson, Christopher Bell, William Byron, Ryan Blaney, Denny Hamlin and Chase Elliott.
Will one of those names win on Sunday and clinch a spot in the next round?

Reddick won Homestead on a last lap pass last weekend to clinch one of the four spots in next week’s battle for the Cup Series championship. He passed Ryan Blaney in a race dominated by the playoff drivers, as the top six spots were claimed by drivers in the Round of 8. The exceptions were Kyle Larson in 13th and Joey Logano in 28th.
Back in April, William Byron won the Cook Out 400 here at Martinsville, leading 88 of the 415 laps. Larson and Elliott finished second and third as Hendrick Motorsports cars dominated the race. All three led 60 or more laps.
Blaney won this race in 2023. In fact, the past five races at Martinsville have been won by a driver currently in the playoffs.
NASCAR has reached the penultimate race of the 2024 season before a champion is crowned next weekend.
Sunday’s race at Martinsville Speedway will determine the last two drivers in the final four, setting the stage for the NASCAR Championship Race at Phoenix Raceway.
Two drivers have already locked up spots in the Championship 4. Joey Logano, a two-time Cup Series champion, won the opening race of the third round at Las Vegas Motor Speedway two weeks ago. Tyler Reddick, seeking his first Cup title, punched his ticket last weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
