Hendrick Motorsports teammates Mark Martin and Dale Earnhardt Jr. have secured the front row for next week's Daytona 500.
Martin, the only driver to top 191 mph during qualifying Saturday, earned the first pole of his career for the Sprint Cup Series' season-opening race. Earnhardt will start second, trying to rebound from the worst season in his Cup career.
The front-row sweep continues Hendrick's domination in the sport. Not only has Jimmie Johnson won the past four Cup championships, but teammates Martin and Jeff Gordon gave Hendrick a 1-2-3 finish in the 2009 point standings.
The top 35 drivers from last season are guaranteed starting spots in next Sunday's race, but their positions will be set in Thursday's 150-mile qualifying races.
