The Cup Series will compete Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway. Once again the field will draw for their starting spots based on their position in the Owner’s Point Standings. Starting position is nearly meaningless for most of the drivers because they can go from 25th to 5th in one lap. It is very important for Fantasy NASCAR players who play in games that award place differential points.
Here is the starting lineup for the GEICO 500:
| Row 1 | 1. Martin Truex Jr. | 2. Denny Hamlin |
| Row 2 | 3. Kyle Busch | 4. Jimmie Johnson |
| Row 3 | 5. Kevin Harvick | 6. Brad Keselowski |
| Row 4 | 7. Kurt Busch | 8. Alex Bowman |
| Row 5 | 9. Joey Logano | 10. Clint Bowyer |
| Row 6 | 11. Chase Elliott | 12. Ryan Blaney |
| Row 7 | 13. Matt Kenseth | 14. Ryan Newman |
| Row 8 | 15. Aric Almirola | 16. Tyler Reddick |
| Row 9 | 17. Austin Dillon | 18. Erik Jones |
