Mark Martin won the pole for Sunday's 500-lap race. The 54-year-old Martin, who finished third at Daytona, became the second-oldest driver to ever win a Sprint Cup pole in Friday's qualifying runs. He will be joined on the front row by Kasey Kahne. Johnson and Kyle Busch, who won Saturday's Nationwide Series race, will be on the second row. Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart make up the third row of drivers.
