Truck qualifying and Cup qualifying canceled, lineup set by owner points

Due to rain showers in the area and track drying efforts, NASCAR has canceled qualifying for both the NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series and the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series. The field will be set per the rule book by owner points.

Stewart Friesen will start on the pole for the Truck Series Ford EcoBoost 200.

The rest of the top-10 includes newly announced Kyle Busch Motorsports and 2018 ARCA Champion Christian Eckes in second, Ross Chastain will start third, last year’s defending series champion Brett Moffitt will start in fourth, Austin Hill fifth, Johnny Sauter sixth, Grant Enfinger seventh, Tyler Ankrum eighth, Matt Crafton ninth and Ben Rhodes will complete the top-10 spots.

Tonight’s race can be seen on Fox Sports 1, as it is the championship-deciding finale in the NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series with a green flag start of 9:35 p.m. ET. However, if persistent rain showers continue, an alternative starting time has been set for the Ford Ecoboost 200. The Truck Series finale would be run on Saturday morning at 9 a.m. ET also live on Fox Sports 1.

Denny Hamlin will lead the field to green for the Cup Series Ford EcoBoost 400 Sunday at 3 p.m. ET on NBC.
