Another Qualifying Washout Puts Larson on Pole in Charlotte
NASCAR set the lineup by metric after rain wiped out qualifying, and championship leader Kyle Larson will start first with nine Chase drivers in the top nine.
- Rain canceled qualifying at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Saturday morning, awarding championship leader Kyle Larson the pole position for the Bank of America 400.
- Officials moved qualifying earlier to avoid incoming weather, but the two-hour shift proved insufficient to beat the rain; the 400-mile race returns to the Charlotte oval for the fall Chase race.
- Chase drivers occupy the top nine starting spots, with Larson having finished no worse than fifth throughout the first five races of the postseason.
- Shane van Gisbergen rolls off 10th as the highest-starting non-Chase driver, while Carson Hocevar, Denny Hamlin, Chris Buescher, Daniel Suarez, and Christopher Bell start outside the top 10.
- Coverage of the 267-lap event begins at 3 p.m. ET on USA Network and the Performance Racing Network, with the race serving as the sixth event in the NASCAR Cup Series Chase.
