Joey Logano wins pole (again) at Martinsville

Joey Logano’s looking to continue his second-round dominance in the third round.

Logano will start Sunday’s race at Martinsville on the pole after he was the fastest car in the final round of qualifying. While last week’s race at Talladega was his sixth win of the season, Friday’s pole is his sixth of the year. And it’s his second of the season at Martinsville.

He started first in the spring race and finished third despite a spin. He hasn’t won any of the five previous races where he’s started on the pole but in every race he’s finished in the top five. If he finishes in the top five on Sunday, he should be in great shape heading into Texas.

Martin Truex Jr. qualified next to Logano on the front row. All eight of the remaining Chase drivers qualified in the top 15. Here’s where they  start:

Joey Logano, 1st
Martin Truex Jr., 2nd
Jeff Gordon, 5th
Kyle Busch, 6th
Brad Keselowski, 11th
Kevin Harvick, 12th
Carl Edwards, 14th
Kurt Busch, 15th
