Qualifying was rained out at Richmond Raceway on Saturday, which means the lineup for tomorrow's race was set per the NASCAR rule book. Alex Bowman, the current points leader through six races, will start on the front row. Kyle Busch will join Bowman on the front row on Sunday.
William Byron will line up directly behind his Hendrick Motorsports teammate, while Ross Chastain joins him on the second row. Last week's winner Tyler Reddick will start from Row 3 along with Austin Cindric. Chris Buescher, Ricky Stenhouse Jr, Kyle Larson, and Kevin Harvick complete the list of top-ten starters.
Denny Hamlin is the defending race winner at Richmond, and will start 11th in his No. 11 Toyota. Both practice and qualifying were canceled because of the rain. Although wet weather tires will be available for the race tomorrow if needed, NASCAR decided against using them for today's on-track sessions.
The return of short-track racing begins this weekend, with three consecutive races on the smaller ovals. The last eight short-track races have all been won by different drivers, a trend that could continue tomorrow. Those last eight winners are Martin Truex Jr, Larson, Bowman, Hamlin, Byron, Harvick, Buescher, and Christopher Bell.
