MARTINSVILLE, Va. (AP) Joey Logano has won the pole at Martinsville Speedway to set up a shot at his fourth consecutive win.
Logano turned a lap at 98.548 in Friday qualifying to earn the top starting spot. He heads into Sunday’s race coming off three consecutive wins – a sweep of the second round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.
Should Logano win Sunday, he’ll be the first driver since Jimmie Johnson in 2007 to win four straight races.
Martin Truex Jr. qualified second and was followed by non-Chase drivers AJ Allmendinger and Jamie McMurray.
Jeff Gordon will try to win his ninth career race at Martinsville from the fifth starting spot. Kyle Busch qualified sixth and was followed by Ryan Newman.
