RIDGEWAY, Va. -- It's official -- Hendrick Motorsports will have five cars on the track Sunday at Martinsville Speedway.
And three of them will start in the top 10.
Jeff Gordon will lead the teammates to the green flag in the No. 24 Axalta Chevrolet SS in fourth, followed by Jimmie Johnson in the No. 48 Lowe's Chevrolet SS in fifth. Kasey Kahne, in the No. 5 Farmers Insurance Chevrolet SS, also made the third and final round of qualifying Friday and will start ninth.
"To have the car here in the top five with this much speed on Friday is awesome," Johnson said. "We'll get a good pit-stall pick with that and go racing on Sunday."
Dale Earnhardt Jr. will roll off the grid 14th in the No. 88 Diet Mountain Dew Chevrolet SS.
Chase Elliott needed a strong showing in qualifying to secure his place in the race, and he got it. Though he narrowly missed making it to the second round of qualifying, he earned his place in Sunday's event and will start 27th.
He becomes the 12th youngest driver in NASCAR history to make his Sprint Cup Series debut, and will pilot the No. 25 NAPA Chevrolet SS.
"That was goal number one, to get in, so definitely a big relief for us," Elliott said. "We're excited. It's weird being excited about qualifying wherever we qualified, 27th, but we're in the show. First Sprint Cup Series race with NAPA on board. I'm excited for Sunday."
Joey Logano claimed the pole.
