Points leader Tyler Reddick on the pole for Coca-Cola 600 after rain washes out qualifying
The lineup will be set by NASCAR’s rule-book metric after persistent rain canceled Cup Series qualifying and disrupted the weekend schedule.
On Saturday, Charlotte Motor Speedway canceled qualifying for Sunday's NASCAR Coca-Cola 600 due to inclement weather, with Tyler Reddick starting on the pole based on his metric score.
Persistent rain disrupted the entire NASCAR weekend schedule, forcing officials to set lineups for the Cup Series, Craftsman Truck Series, and O'Reilly Auto Parts Series using the rule book.
Behind pole-sitter Reddick and Ty Gibbs, the top five includes Shane van Gisbergen, Michael McDowell, and Chase Briscoe; Katherine Legge starts 37th attempting 'The Double' at Indianapolis and Charlotte.
Austin Hill takes Kyle Busch's place in the Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet as the track honors the late two-time champion by lighting the pylon on lap 18.
The 400-lap Coca-Cola 600 remains scheduled for 6 p.m. ET on Sunday, though rain forecasts continue to create uncertainty for the crown jewel event at the Speedway.
