Yes, But

McKee starts first, but Chandler Smith topped practice and qualified third, putting him among the contenders to watch. Garcia sustained heavy damage after losing his brakes in practice and recorded no qualifying time.

Bottom Line

McKee has the best starting position, but Martinsville’s short track and the close qualifying times leave the front of the field tightly packed for the 200-lap race.
