NASCAR Cup Series: Full qualifying order revealed for Dover race

For the fourth straight year, Dover Motor Speedway has just one race on the NASCAR Cup Series schedule, and that race is this Sunday afternoon's Wurth 400.

This race is scheduled to be a 400-lap race around the four-turn, 1.0-mile (1.609-kilometer) high-banked "Monster Mile" oval in Dover, Delaware.

Joe Gibbs Racing's Martin Truex Jr. is the reigning winner. Hendrick Motorsports' Alex Bowman is the most recent Sunday winner of this event (2021), as it was postponed to Monday due to rain in both 2022 and 2023. Hendrick Motorsports' Chase Elliott won it in 2022.

Unlike Talladega Superspeedway last weekend, Dover is not a superspeedway, so group qualifying is set to be used to set the starting lineup for Sunday's race. Because Dover is one of the few tracks that is not more than one mile in length, drivers are set to get two timed laps in qualifying instead of one.

The fastest five drivers in each group are set to advance to the second round shootout for the pole position. Marking a slight change from last year, drivers who fail to make it out of round one from the first group are set to start the race on the outside lane, and drivers who fail to make it out of round one from the second group are set to start the race on the inside lane.

The qualifying order was determined by the four-variable metric which NASCAR has now used in some way, shape, or form for the last five seasons. A rundown of that formula can be found here.
