DOVER, Del. – Martin Truex Jr., the only multi-time NASCAR Cup Series winner this season, will chase his fourth victory of the year from the pole position at Dover Int’l Speedway on Sunday.
Truex, the driver of the No. 19 Toyota Camry for Joe Gibbs Racing, received the Busch Pole Award for the Drydene 400 courtesy of the highest metric score among the 37 cars entered to compete.
Lap speed is weighted at 15 percent, previous race finish at 25 percent for the driver and owner results and owner points position at 35 percent to calculate the final metric score.
Truex earned the pole with a metric score of 1.65, factoring in his recent win at Darlington Raceway, the third-fastest lap from that event and his runner-up seeding in the point standings after 12 of 36 races this season.
He’ll have a teammate joining him on the front row, with Cup Series point leader Denny Hamlin starting second ahead of Hendrick Motorsports teammates William Byron and Kyle Larson on the second row of the starting grid.
Kevin Harvick will roll off fifth at the Monster Mile, followed by Kyle Busch, Ryan Blaney, Chase Elliott, Joey Logano and Chris Buescher.
