NASCAR Atlanta 2015: Lineup, starting grid for QuikTrip Folds of Honor 500

The second race of the 2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup season takes place on Sunday afternoon with the QuikTrip Folds of Honor 500 from Atlanta Motor Speedway, and the Daytona 500 champion is starting out in the No. 1 position just one week after his big victory.

Joey Logano won the pole position with a qualifying speed of 194.683 mph on Friday, the ninth pole of his career, after winning the Daytona 500 last weekend. The 24-year-old was the second-youngest winner in the event's history.

Kevin Harvick, who finished second to Logano in Daytona, earned the second position in Atlanta during qualifying, but will begin at the back of the grid due to an unapproved engine change. Kasey Kahne, the 2014 winner in Atlanta, starts out in 10th position on Sunday, while three-time winner Jeff Gordon, making his final career start at Atlanta Motor Speedway, starts out in 35th position.

The race will be televised on Sunday by FOX at 1 p.m. ET, with the green flag scheduled to drop at roughly 1:16 p.m.
