Mark Martin wins Richmond Pole

In the last race before the Chase, Mark Martin won yet another pole this season. This pole may very well be the most important pole of his career. Other drivers at Richmond were hoping for clouds on the track when they qualified, but Martin said he didn’t need any clouds.  Martin is joined on the front row with Martin Treux Jr. The biggest disappointment in qualifying is easily the Roush cars. They are not known to be good qualifiers but both Biffle and Kenseth qualified very poorly when compared to other Chase contenders. Here is a list of where notable drivers will start Saturday night.
