Rain forced the cancellation of both series' qualifying sessions Friday afternoon. Both fields will be set per the rule book. MARTINSVILLE, VA − For the third year in a row, qualifying for the spring race at Martinsville Speedway was rained out Friday, and the field was set by point standings.

Kevin Harvick and Matt Kenseth gained the front row for Sunday's race, followed by Jimmie Johnson and Greg Biffle. Tony Stewart and Kurt Busch will start in the third row.

It is Harvick's first career pole position on the 0.526-mile oval.

The rain also washed out qualifying for the truck race on Saturday, and that gave Harvick a sweep of the pole positions because his team also leads the truck standings.
