NASCAR: Full qualifying order revealed for Martinsville race

The 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season is set for its first points race on Fox Sports 1 this Sunday afternoon at Martinsville Speedway. The Cook Out 400 is the first of two races scheduled to take place at "The Paperclip" this season, the other being the final race before the championship race in November.

Sunday's race, the eighth of 36 races on the 2024 calendar, is scheduled to be a 400-lap race around the four-turn, 0.526-mile (0.847-kilometer) Ridgeway, Virginia oval.

Because the race is not a superspeedway race, a group qualifying session is set to be utilized on Saturday, and because it is a short track race, drivers are each set to get two timed laps instead of one.

The qualifying groups and qualifying order were determined by the qualifying metric which NASCAR introduced during the 2020 season. For a full breakdown of that format, read more here.

The top five drivers in each group are set to advance to the second round to battle for the pole position. The remaining drivers from the first group are set to line up on the outside row, and the remaining drivers from the second group are set to line up on the inside row, a slight change from last year's format.
