NASCAR lineup at Darlington: Starting order, pole for 2024 Goodyear 400 based on qualifying results image

Drivers are speeding into the second race of May and the third leg of three straight 400-mile races.

The Goodyear 400 will wrap up the first half of the 2024 NASCAR season at Darlington Raceway in South Carolina on Sunday. Racers will take part in All-Star festivities the following week on Sunday, May 19.

Kyle Larson enters the Goodyear 400 as the leading Cup Series driver. He won the AdventHealth 400 and remains atop the leaderboard with 467 points. The Chevrolet driver will line up sixth in Sunday's race.

The pole winner for the Goodyear 400 is also a two-time Cup Series winner this season. Who will race first Sunday in Darlington? Check out the full lineup ahead of the race.

Who won the 2024 Goodyear 400 pole?

Tyler Reddick won the Goodyear 400 pole, so he'll lineup first in Sunday's race. His best time was 28.906 seconds at a speed of 170.124 miles per hour.

Reddick, a Toyota driver, beat out Brad Keselowski (Ford) and Chris Buescher (Ford) for the top spot. Ford drivers are still vying for their first Cup Series win in 2024. They'll have the No. 2 and No. 3 spots with Keselowski and Buescher.

Buescher came awfully close to winning the AdventHealth 400, falling short by 0.001 seconds to Larson.

Ty Gibbs will start in the fourth spot, and William Byron will be fifth.
