Ryan Blaney: Awarded Martinsville Pole
Blaney will start from the pole for the Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500 at Martinsville Speedway Wednesday evening.
Analysis:
Blaney won the NASCAR lottery this week and was the lucky pole winner of the weighted draw. The No. 12 Ford will roll off first Wednesday night at the Martinsville short track. The good starting track position should allow Blaney to lead many laps early in this 500-lap battle.
