Martinsville Speedway is scheduled to host the first of its two annual NASCAR Cup Series races this Sunday afternoon, and with "The Paperclip" also set to host the cutoff race right before the Championship 4 in late October, Sunday's Cook Out 400 is considered one of the most important races on the regular season calendar.

Unlike the autumn race, which is scheduled for 500 laps, Sunday's race is scheduled to be a 400-lap race around the four-turn, 0.526-mile (0.847-kilometer) Ridgeway, Virginia oval.

Hendrick Motorsports swept the top three last year, with William Byron leading the way, while Team Penske's Ryan Blaney is the track's most recent winner, having punched his second straight Championship 4 ticket back in November.

With Martinsville being a short track, each driver is set to make a two-lap qualifying attempt in Saturday's single-car qualifying session, rather than a single-lap attempt.

The qualifying order, which can be found here, was determined by a new two-variable metric that NASCAR just introduced this past offseason, rather than the four-variable metric that had been used since 2020.

A full breakdown of that new formula can be found here.

Follow along with our live qualifying updates.
