NASCAR Qualifying update: Martinsville | Points Leader Jimmie Johnson
RAIN

EQUALS
Therefore….
For the second time in as many weeks, the NASCAR Sprint Cup cars will line up from points this weekend at Martinsville. The oval track, which is just over a half mile in length, has one of the tightest pit lanes on the circuit. Jimmie Johnson, current leader in the NASCAR standings, will get the first pit stall for the TUMS QuikPak 500.
On a short track with a tight pitlane, it’s a driver’s dream to be able to fire out of his pit stall without worry of what’s happening ahead of him. With the Chase at its halfway point and just 69 points separating Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Burton, this couldn’t come at a better time for the back to back Cup champion Jimmie Johnson.
It is the 9th time this year that qualifying has been washed out for the “Cup” cars.
Here is the top five for 1pm Green Flag on Sunday. TV : ABC
| 1 | 48 | Jimmie Johnson | Chevrolet |
| 2 | 31 | Jeff Burton | Chevrolet |
| 3 | 16 | Greg Biffle | Ford |
| 4 | 99 | Carl Edwards | Ford |
| 5 | 07 | Clint Bowyer | Chevrolet |
