I can’t identify the polesitter without knowing which Sunday race you mean. Please share the specific event (track and date), and I’ll provide the exact NASCAR Cup Series pole winner immediately.

Why the answer depends on the specific race
The NASCAR Cup Series runs on many Sundays across a long season, and each event has its own qualifying session that sets the pole. Because multiple Sundays—and sometimes multiple special events—occur throughout the year, the correct answer hinges on the track, date, and race name you’re asking about.
What details I need to give you the precise polesitter
To pinpoint the correct pole winner, a few specifics will remove any ambiguity. Please include the following information so I can confirm the result precisely and avoid confusion with other weekends or exhibition events.
- Race date (or the upcoming/most recent Sunday)
- Track name and location (e.g., Martinsville, Phoenix, Daytona)
- Race title (if known), such as the sponsor name or “Playoff Race at [track]”
- Whether it’s a points race or an exhibition (e.g., the Clash)
With these details, I can verify the qualifying results and report the exact driver who earned pole position for that Sunday’s Cup race.
How to quickly confirm the latest Cup Series pole winner
If you need to check immediately, these reliable sources publish the official qualifying results and any updates due to weather or penalties.
- Visit NASCAR.com and open the specific race page; select “Results” or “Qualifying” for the official pole sitter.
- Check the track’s or team’s X (Twitter) feeds for real-time qualifying updates and full lineups.
- Look at reputable motorsports outlets like AP, Motorsport.com, RACER, or Jayski for post-qualifying reports.
- Use NASCAR’s mobile app for live timing and session summaries, including the polesitter and top speeds.
- If qualifying was weather-impacted, verify if the lineup was set by the NASCAR metric (owner points/performance formula).
These steps will confirm the polesitter quickly and ensure you’re seeing any last-minute changes due to inspections, weather, or penalties.
Important notes about qualifying formats and exceptions
Qualifying is typically knockout-style and track-dependent (e.g., single-car runs at superspeedways, group sessions at most ovals and road courses). If qualifying is canceled by weather, NASCAR may set the lineup via its performance metric. Post-qualifying inspection can also adjust the lineup, so the initial polesitter may change if a car fails inspection.
Send me these details and I’ll answer instantly
Here are examples of how you can phrase your follow-up so I can give you the exact polesitter right away.
- “Who won the pole for the NASCAR Cup race at Martinsville this Sunday (MM/DD)?”
- “Who’s on pole for the Phoenix Championship race this Sunday?”
- “Who took pole for the Daytona 500 this Sunday?”
Any of these will give me enough context to confirm the correct driver and team for the pole position.
Summary
The Sunday Cup Series polesitter varies by event, so I need the race date and track to provide the exact name. Share those details, and I’ll immediately report the official pole winner and any relevant context (time, speed, team, and notes on weather or inspection).
