MARTINSVILLE, Va. Corey Davis Jersey . - Kyle Busch has seen it time and again at Martinsville Speedway. Driving down pit road, heading back onto the track and in contention for the lead, Busch is used to seeing the pole-sitter gun the engine just off the jack and reassume the race lead. Busch hopes to finally get to experience that for himself at Martinsville Speedway on Sunday after earning the pole on NASCARs smallest, tightest track for the first time in 19 career starts. "I think thats a great thing for us," Busch said after winning the pole with a lap at 99.674 mph. "We get to pit there and of course drop the jack and just lunge across the line and be good. "You need to still run up front all day. I think that its a great opportunity for us to pick up some spots say if were second, third, fourth, whatever, but you definitely always want to stay as close to the front as you can and try not to use that box as much as some guys have in the past." The pole is the 14th of Buschs career. In an interesting twist under NASCARs new knockout qualifying system, Busch won it while Joey Logano set a track record. That came at 100.201 mph during the first phase of two-session qualifying. All 44 cars competed in the 30-minute first session, and the top 12 moved into the 10-minute phase two. Denny Hamlin earned the No. 2 starting spot with a lap at 99.548 mph, and will be followed on the starting grid by Logano and Hendrick Motorsports teammates Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon. That puts Busch in some pretty accomplished company because Hamlin (4), Johnson and Gordon (8 each) have won a lot. Busch, though, is coming off a victory last week at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif., and while he said it wasnt dominating, it gave him hope that the Joe Gibbs Racing teams are coming together. "It just seems to be working well right now, whatever is working," he said. Hamlin, who promised earlier in the day that he would win on Sunday, wasnt in love with the outside starting spot because it can be tricky to get down to the bottom on restarts from the outside, said nothing that happened in practice or qualifying made his change his view of how it can all unfold. "I knew, even going into this weekend, I knew we were going to be really good contenders and be in the mix anyway," he said. "I feel like after running a couple laps of practice I felt like this was a car that was capable of winning. I think with tire management being more of a factor than its ever been, it kind of lends itself to my driving style even more. For that reason I think well be tough on Sunday." Logano has two top-10 finishes on the 0.526-mile oval, but none since 2010. "So weve got a track record, but we dont have a pole. How does that work?" he asked. A solid pit position, he said, could help turns things around on Sunday. "Obviously, the pit stall is very important, especially here. Its a dangerous pit road, so you want to get a nice spot you can get in and out of, but obviously here its a slow pit road and you can make up a lot with timing lines on pit road," he said. "For that reason alone its big, and thats worth multiple spots throughout the race when youre thinking about making a lot of pit stops." Danica Patrick qualified 10th, her best starting spot in a race not held at Daytona. Her previous best starting position was 21st, accomplished twice last season. Custom Tennessee Titans Jerseys .

The defensive end is now wearing No. 50. Umenyiora took the practice field Wednesday donning the new number after working out a swap with young linebacker Pat Schiller, who spent last season on the practice squad and is back to take another shot at making the team. "My folks said they didnt like didnt like 90 on me," Umenyiora said. Why? "I dont know," he replied. "They just didnt like it." Umenyiora has been on quite a numerical journey after signing with the Falcons during the off-season, having spent the first decade of his career with the New York Giants. He wore No. 72 with the Giants, but that number belonged to Atlantas top offensive lineman, Sam Baker. Umenyiora chose No. 90, but that only lasted through two preseason games. After being urged by his parents to switch, Umenyiora asked about 58, only to be told that number was unofficially retired by the team after being worn by longtime Falcons linebacker Jessie Tuggle. The next choice was 57, but Umenyiora ran into the same issue -- that number was once worn by Falcons great Jeff Van Note and is no longer given oout. Derrick Henry Jersey. So, Umenyiora settled on No. 50 -- which may be more appropriate, anyway, given hes been lining up a lot at outside linebacker during the preseason with Atlanta trying out a 3-4 alignment. Linebackers generally wear numbers in the 50s. Of course, changing numbers meant working out an arrangement with Schiller. The second-year player couldnt resist having a little fun when asked about the negotiations. "I definitely came out on top," Schiller said. "He took me to all-you-can-eat Golden Corral." Playing along, a reporter pointed out that Umenyiora got off for about $10 -- not bad for a guy who signed a two-year, $8.5 million deal with the Falcons. "Is that what it costs?" Schiller said with a straight face. "Well, I loaded up on the rolls. I very much stuffed my face." Umenyiora chuckled when told of his teammates comments. "Is that what he told you?" Umenyiora asked. "It was a little more expensive than that. I took care of him." Schiller gets the last word in these negotiations. "Theres a rumour going around a Bugatti," he said, referring to one of the worlds most expensive cars. "But you can see the parking lot. Its not in there."
