With Kyle Larson (who was eliminated from the NASCAR playoffs in the round of 12) winning last week in Miami, the 2022 Xfinity 500 event at Martinsville Speedway could create some excellent drama because the team owners' and drivers' titles could go to two different people.
In addition, Kyle Larson took the pole for today's race after posting a lap of 19.709 seconds (96.078 mph/154.622 kph) in the final round of qualifying. Next to Kyle Larson on the front row is his Hendrick Motorsport teammate Chase Elliott. Following them are Chase Briscoe and Ryan Blaney. Ross Chastain was the only other playoff driver to make the top 10, qualifying in P9.
This is the last race before Championship 4, so we should have some excellent racing today at Martinsville Speedway in Virginia.
