Ryan Blaney already earned the best starting position for Saturday night’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Richmond Raceway. Now the Team Penske driver will have a prime piece of real estate on pit road, too.
Blaney, who won the pole in the No. 12 Ford, will occupy pit stall No. 1 for the Cook Out 400. His stall sits at the Turn 1 end of pit road, giving the pole-sitter a clear opening ahead of him when leaving his pit box.

The rest of the field will be spread across Richmond’s notoriously busy pit road, with a few strategically placed vacant stalls potentially giving certain teams some additional room to work with Saturday night.
Two teams also entered the weekend without the ability to choose their pit stalls. Christopher Bell’s No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing team and Cody Ware’s No. 51 Rick Ware Racing team each failed pre-race inspection twice. Their respective car chiefs were ejected, and both teams lost pit selection for the weekend.
Here is where every Cup Series driver will pit at Richmond.
