Denny Hamlin leads the points standings and he’ll lead the field to green at Atlanta on Sunday.

Hamlin will start first for Sunday’s race at the 1.5-mile track ahead of teammate and Phoenix winner Martin Truex Jr. Hamlin won the pole via NASCAR’s qualifying formula because the race doesn’t have any practice or qualifying preceding it.

The formula consists of a driver’s finishing position from the previous race (25 percent), the car’s finishing position from the previous event (25 percent), where the team is in owner points (35 percent) and the driver’s fastest lap from the previous race (15 percent). The driver with the lowest combined number starts first.

Hamlin has four top-10 finishes over the first five races of the season. His only finish outside the top 10 was an 11th at Homestead. He was third on Sunday at Phoenix behind Truex and Joey Logano.

Here’s the starting lineup ahead of Sunday’s race. The 2020 race at Atlanta was the first race NASCAR had to postpone because of the coronavirus pandemic.
