The 54th annual AdvoCare 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway is all set for Sunday, and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. will open the race in pole position.

Sunday’s race in Atlanta will be televised by ESPN, with Allen Bestwick, Dale Jarrett and Andy Petree calling the race from the booth. The television broadcast begins at 7 p.m. ET with pre-race coverage, followed by the race at 7:30 p.m.. The green flag drops at 7:46 p.m.

Stenhouse grabbed the pole over teammate Carl Edwards in Friday’s qualifying with a lap of 189.688 mph. Stenhouse is the second rookie this season to capture a pole, as Danica Patrick did so at the Daytona 500. Patrick will open the AdvoCare 500 in 21st position, in row 11.
