How the race order will be set for Sunday’s Dixie Vodka 400

The NASCAR Cup Series’ Dixie Vodka is set to take place on Sunday at Homestead-Miami Motor Speedway. The race will be aired at 3:30 p.m ET on FOX.

The starting grid will be determined by random draws that account for where each driver stands in the points race. Here’s how it works.

• Positions 1-12: Random draw from charter teams in those positions in owner points
• Positions 13-24: Random draw from charter teams in those positions in owner points
• Positions 25-36: Random draw from charter teams in those positions in owner points
• Positions 37-40: Open teams in order of owners points

Denny Hamlin claimed the pole position in the random draw, with Joey Logano joining him on the front row. Brad Keselowski and Kyle Busch follow them on the second row. Reed Sorenson claimed the final spot in the race order.

Martin Truex Jr., who won the Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500 earlier this week, has finished second at Homestead in each of his last two races at the track. He has the second best odds (+500) to win on DraftKings Sportsbook and only trails Kevin Harvick (+400). Truex’s latest win helped him climb to fourth in the Cup Series standings.

Team Penske looked dominant Sunday at Martinsville, as Ryan Blaney, Brad Keselowski, and Joey Logano all finished in the top five. Logano (+750) and Keselowski (+1000) have both been top five drivers on intermediate tracks since 2018 and should be among the favorites to win at Homestead.
