NASCAR NOCO 400 at Martinsville Speedway - Full Qualifying Results

Stewart Haas Racing has found something. The four-car organization dominated qualifying on Saturday at Martinsville, where Ryan Preece earned his first career Cup Series pole. All four SHR cars advanced into the final round of qualifying, and they took three of the top four spots with Kevin Harvick landing in 7th position.

Daniel Suarez will start alongside Preece tomorrow afternoon, as he led a disappointing day for Chevrolet. Suarez held the top spot until Preece made his final lap as the final car in qualifying. The Trackhouse Racing driver and Aric Almirola actually had identical lap times, but Suarez held the tiebreaker in that scenario. Almirola and teammate Chase Briscoe will start from Row 2 tomorrow.

Martin Truex Jr and Tyler Reddick were the top Toyota drivers in qualifying today, and will start the race from Row 3. Harvick, William Byron, Bubba Wallace, and Chris Buescher rounded out the top-ten in the final round of qualifying. Just missing out were Joe Gibbs Racing teammates Denny Hamlin and Ty Gibbs, who will share Row 6 on Sunday.

Several drivers starting in the back will have a major traffic jam to navigate tomorrow. That includes Ryan Blaney, who starts 31st for Team Penske. That organization did not have a good day, with Joey Logano (15th) and Austin Cindric (25th) also struggling for speed and grip. Ross Chastain made "the move hear around the world" at Martinsville last year, but he was nowhere close to his teammate in qualifying today, as he starts 34th tomorrow.

Chase Elliott has returned to the seat of his No. 9 Chevrolet, after missing the last six weeks while he recovered from surgery after breaking his leg in a snowboarding accident. The Hendrick Motorsports driver qualified 24th today and will need to win a race to punch his ticket to the playoffs after receiving a waiver from NASCAR last month.
