There is no second round shootout for the pole position, and because there are no groups, there are no row-by-row lane designations like we&#8217;ve seen in past years.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"8t\">Here&#8217;s the full Xfinity 500 qualifying order.<\/p>\n<p>NASCAR Cup Series playoff qualifying order at Martinsville<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"8z\">1 &#8211; Justin Haley, No. 7 Spire Motorsports Chevrolet<\/p>\n<p>2 &#8211; Ricky Stenhouse Jr., No. 47 Hyak Motorsports Chevrolet<\/p>\n<p>3 &#8211; Noah Gragson, No. 4 Front Row Motorsports Ford<\/p>\n<p>4 &#8211; A.J.
