Who got pole for Sunday’s NASCAR race?
I don’t have enough context to name the pole winner yet—please tell me which Sunday and which race (series, track, and date), and I’ll provide the exact pole sitter immediately. NASCAR runs multiple events across different series, and the pole winner changes by event and week.

What I need to give you the exact pole winner
Because NASCAR stages multiple races across its national series and at different tracks, I need a few specifics to identify the correct qualifying result. Share the following details so I can fetch the exact pole sitter:
- Series: NASCAR Cup Series, Xfinity Series, or Craftsman Truck Series
- Event or track name: For example, Martinsville, Phoenix, Las Vegas, etc.
- Date: The Sunday you mean (month/day/year)
- Any additional context: “Playoff race,” “regular season,” or sponsor/event title if you have it
With those details, I can immediately confirm who won pole and their qualifying speed/time, plus the top starters.
How to quickly find the pole sitter yourself
If you want to look it up right away, these sources reliably post qualifying results as soon as sessions end:
- NASCAR.com: Event page qualifying results and the leaderboard
- Official NASCAR social channels: X/Twitter and Instagram post the pole winner quickly
- Track social media: The hosting speedway’s accounts share the lineup and pole announcement
- Teams/drivers: Top teams and drivers often post their qualifying results immediately
- TV partners: FOX Sports or NBC Sports (depending on the broadcast half) publish qualifying recaps
- Beat reporters: Notably Bob Pockrass (FOX Sports) and other motorsports journalists on X/Twitter
These outlets typically publish the pole winner within minutes of qualifying concluding, including speed, time, and front-row starters.
Helpful context about how the pole is set
Most race weekends include a timed qualifying session that determines the pole winner based on the fastest lap. Some formats use group qualifying with a final round for the fastest cars. If weather cancels qualifying, NASCAR’s rulebook sets the lineup by a performance-based metric—generally derived from recent results, owner points, and other factors—so the “pole winner” may be assigned rather than timed.
When qualifying is canceled or adjusted
If rain or scheduling changes scrap or modify qualifying, the starting lineup (including the pole) is set via the rulebook formula. That process can differ by series and season, so the official event page or NASCAR communications will state who is on pole under those procedures.

Reply with the details below, and I’ll give you the pole winner (and the front row) right away:

Summary
I can’t determine the pole winner without the specific Sunday and event. Share the series, track, and date, and I’ll deliver the exact pole sitter and key qualifying details immediately. Alternatively, check NASCAR.com or official race/track social channels for the latest qualifying results.
